DULUTH,  THE  GATEWAY 

AND 

NORTHEASTERN   MINNESOTA 

At  the  western  end  of  Lake  Superior,  where  navigation  on  the 
Great  Lakes  gives  way  to  transportation  by  rail,  stands  Duluth, 
a  city  of  85,000  people.  Duluth  is  the  third  largest  city  in  Minne- 
sota. It  has  grown  rapidly  in  recent  years  and  important  devel- 
opments in  transportation  give  foundation  to  the  hopes  of  its  resi- 
dents that  it  will  some  day  be  the  metropolis  of  the  Northwest. 

As  the  point  where  rails  and  water  meet,  Duluth  is  the  gate- 
way to  the  Northwest.  Radiating  from  the  city  are  fifteen  rail- 
road lines  traversing  an  immense  territory,  within  which  are  in-

eluded  Minnesota's  rich  iron  ore  region,  a  great  expanse  of  terri- 
tory that  has  promise  of  becoming  Minnesota's  richest  farming 
region,  and  what  remains  of  the  timber  that  in  the  past  has  been 
one  of  the  great  sources  of  wealth  of  the  North  Star  state. 

Northern  Minnesota  is  truly  a  land  of  certainties,  and  espe- 
cially does  certainty  attend  development  efforts  in  Northeastern 
Minnesota.  The  wealth  of  the  region  is  immense;  the  develop- 
ment is  going  forward  rapidly  and  constantly.  Agriculturally, 
industrially  and  commercially,  Northeastern  Minnesota  is  pro- 
gressing more  rapidly  than  any  other  portion  of  the  state  or  of 
the  Northwest.  .  ^^,.

A  few  years  ago  people  scoffed  when  the  sugs^estion  of  agri- 
cultural production  in  the  cut-over  country  of  Northeastern  A/Tin- 
nesota  was  advanced.  The  Commercial  club  of  Duluth,  basing 
its  action  on  sound  advice  and  the  experience  of  scattered  settlers 
and  city  farmers,  determined  to  silence  the  scoffers  by  bringing 
about  agricultural  development  on  a  large  scale.  The  club  ob- 
tained an  agricultural  expert,  who  set  out  to  direct  the  efforts  of 
the  farmers  and  to  show  the  results  that  could  be  obtained  under 
the  prevailing  climatic  and  soil  conditions.  His  work  went  for- 
ward more  rapidly  than  even  the  enthusiasts  had  hoped.  St.  Louis 
county,  of  which  Duluth  is  the  county  seat,  has  from  year  to  year 
won  prizes  on  potatoes,  celery,  head  lettuce,  forage  crops  and  root 
crops  generally  at  the  Minnesota  State  Fair.  In  1911  twenty  va- 
rieties of  potatoes  grown  in  the  vicinity  of  Duluth  were  the  best 
potatoes  grown  in  the  United  States  and  exhibited  at  the  New 
York  Land  Show  at  Madison  Square  Garden.  In  1912  a  bushel 
of  potatoes  grown  near  Duluth  captured  the  L.  W.  Hill  cup  offered 
at  the  Northwest  Land  Show  at  Minneapolis  for  the  best  bushel 
of  potatoes  grown  in  the  seven  states — Minnesota,  North  Dakota, 
South  Dakota,  Montana,  Idaho,  Oregon  and  Washington. 

Agriculture  is  no  longer  experimental  in  Northeastern  Min- 
nesota. Settlers  are  coming  from  Iowa,  Indiana,  Illinois,  South- 
ern Wisconsin,  Southern  Minnesota  and  other  districts  where  high 
prices  of  land  prevail,  to  Northeastern  Minnesota  where  the  great- 
est capital  needed  is  made  up  of  brawn  and  determination  and  a 
willingness  to  work.  The  soil  deals  kindly  by  the  man  who  works 
it  properly.  Crops  grow  luxuriantly  and  rapidly.  There  are  more 
hours  of  sunshine  between  May  10  and  Sept.  30  in  the  vicinity  of 
Duluth  than  at  St.  Paul,  Des  Moines  or  St.  Louis.  Rainfall  is 
more  evenly  distributed  through  the  growing  season.  The  soil 
is  rich  in  properties  that  provide  quick  and  substantial  growth. 

Northeastern  Minnesota  is  a  land  of  dairying,  for  red  clover 
grows  wild  and  all  forage  crops  do  well.  The  old  idea  that  corn 
could  not  grow  in  the  northern  part  of  Minnesota  has  been  ex- 
ploded. Every  up-to-date  dairy  barn  now  has  its  silo  and  every 
farm  has  its  field  of  corn.  One  of  the  best  Guernsey  herds  in 
the  United  States  is  at  the  Jean  du  Luth  farm  at  Duluth  and 
there  are  various  fine  herds  of  pure-bred  cattle  through  North- 
eastern Minnesota. 

The  Agricultural  College  of  the  University  of  Minnesota  is 
appreciative  of  the  possibilities  of  Northeastern  Minnesota  land. 


The  new  state  demonstration  farm  is  now  in  operation.  County 
agricultural  agents  are  at  work  in  St.  Louis,  Carlton,  Crow  Wing, 
and  Koochiching  counties,  with  A.  B.  Hostetter,  formerly  agri- 
cultural superintendent  of  the  Duluth  Commercial  club,  as  dis- 
trict supervisor.  The  Northeast  Experiment  Station  at  Grand 
Rapids,  Itasca  county,  has  played  a  large  part  in  the  agricultural 
development  of  the  northeastern  part  of  the  state,  and  college  ex- 
tension and  farmers'  institute  workers  are  received  with  hearty 
welcome  all  through  the  region. 

Duluth  is  the  principal  market  for  the  products  of  the  North- 
eastern Minnesota  farms.  Up  to  a  few  years  ago,  the  city  was 
an  importer  of  farm  products.  Now  it  is  an  exporter.  Many 
thousands  of  bushels  of  potatoes  are  sent  out  of  the  territory  every 
year;  Northeastern  Minnesota  head  lettuce,  celery  and  cauliflower 
are  in  demand  wherever  people  are  appreciative  of  vegetables  of 
unusual  quality. 

There  are  many  thousands  of  acres  still  available  for  the  set- 
tler in  Northeastern  Minnesota,  but  there  is  no  longer  any  doubt  as 
to  the  ultimate  agricultural  development  of  the  region.  The  re- 
sults that  have  been  obtained,  the  low  prices  of  the  land,  the  un- 
daunted energy  of  those  who  are  engaged  in  the  efforts  to  develop 
the  country,  make  certain  a  development  that  will  cause  the 
scoffers  of  a  few  years  ago  to  hang  their  heads  in  shame. 

Minnesota's  Mineral  Wealth. 

Mining  continues  to  be  the  chief  industry  of  Northeastern 
Minnesota.  Agriculture  may  supplant  it  in  time,  but  it  will  not 
be  until  after  the  present  generation,  at  least,  has  passed.  The 
last  report  of  the  state  tax  commission  estimated  the  mineral 
wealth  of  Minnesota  at  about  one  and  one-half  billions  of  tons 
of  iron  ore  of  all  grades.  Much  of  it  is  of  low  grade  and  is  not 
considered  very  valuable  in  this  day,  but  processes  for  the  treat- 
ment of  low  grade  ores  are  believed  to  be  practicable  and  ulti- 
mately it  is  believed  that  even  the  ore  of  very  low  grades  will  be 
riierchantable. 

Northeastern  Minnesota,  where  agriculture  is  being  developed 
so  rapidly,  already  contains  over  one-fourth  of  Minnesota's  tax- 
able wealth.  It  is  a  valuable  region  to  the  state  for  it  is  a  large 
contributor  to  governmental  expenses.  St.  Louis  county  alone 
pays  nearly  one-fourth  of  the  entire  direct  state  tax.  The  ore 
carrying  railroads  contribute  a  large  percentage  of  the  total  gross 
earnings  tax  collected  by  the  state. 


Ill 


Minnesota  now  has  three  producing  iron  ranges — the  Mesaba, 
the  Vermilion  and  the  Cuyuna.  The  Vermilion  is  the  oldest,  oper- 
ations having  been  begun  there  about  twenty-nine  years  ago.  Min- 
ing has  been  conducted  on  the  Mesaba  since  about  1892,  while  the 
development  of  the  Cuyuna  range  is  only  a  matter  of  a  few  years. 
The  underground  system  of  mining  is  used  on  the  Vermilion  and 
Cuyuna  ranges,  but  on  the  Mesaba  the  ore  is  scooped  out  of  the 
ground  with  steam  shovels  in  the  great  open  pit  mines.  The 
Hull-Rust  mine,  operated  by  the  Oliver  Iron  Mining  company  at 
Hibbing,  is  the  largest  iron  mine  in  the  world. 

The  mining  regions  of  Minnesota  have  towns  that  are  models 
in  municipal  progress.  The  schools  on  the  iron  ranges  are  the 
finest  to  be  found  anywhere  in  the  United  States.  Every  town, 
even  though  it  has  only  a  few  thousand  people,  has  paved  streets, 
ornamental  lights  and  buildings  that  would  do  credit  to  towns 
much  larger.  The  Minnesotan  who  has  not  visited  the  iron  min- 
ing district  has  missed  a  liberal  education  in  the  state's  resourses 
and  progress. 

DULUTH,  THE  GATEWAY. 

The  last  United  States  census,  taken  in  1910,  gave  Duluth  a 
population  of  78,466.  The  estimate  of  85,000,  made  in  this  year  of 
1913,  is  a  most  conservative  one,  for  Duluth  has  made  great 
strides  since  1910. 

Industrially  and  commercially  Duluth  is  going  forward  as 
rapidly  as  the  agricultural  country  around  it  is  developing.  New 
industries  have  been  established  in  the  city  at  the  rate  of  one  a 
month  for  the  last  year.  Duluth  jobbers  and  manufacturers  are 
reaching  out  for  more  and  even  more  territory.  Duluth  shoes  are 
sold  in  far-off  Alaska.  Duluth  macinaws  are  worn  from  Portland, 
Me.,  to  Portland,  Ore.  Log-loading  machinery  manufactured  in 
Duluth  is  being  operated  in  the  forests  of  Florida  and  Alabama  and 
even  in  South  America.  Duluth  firms  have  salesmen  all  through 
Western  Canada  and  the  northwestern  part  of  the  United  States, 
and  Duluth's  commercial  interests  cover  the  near-by  Northwest 
completely  and  efficiently. 

Duluth  has  high  ideals  and  high  hopes.  It  really  believes  that 
the  day  is  coming  when  it  will  outstrip  the  Twin  Cities  and  will 
rival  Chicago  for  the  honor  of  being  the  metropolis  of  the  West. 
There  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  it  has  just  started  on  its  great 
growth. 

IV 


Heretofore  practically  all  of  the  iron  ore  mined  in  Minnesota 
has  been  shipped  out  of  the  state  for  manufacture.  It  will  not  be 
so  in  the  future.  The  United  States  Steel  Corporation  will  begin 
the  manufacture  of  steel  in  Duluth  within  another  year.  The  cor- 
poration has  already  appropriated  $17,000,000  for  the  steel  plant 
at  Duluth  and  a  large  part  of  the  money  has  been  expended.  On 
the  banks  of  the  St.  Louis  river,  the  big  buildings  loom  up  to  con- 
found skeptics  and  to  cheer  the  hearts  of  those  who  had  faith  in  the 
promise  of  the  corporation  to  establish  the  big  plant  in  Minnesota. 
The  present  plant  is  believed  to  be  only  the  first  unit  of  the  indus- 
try. Following  in  the  wake  of  the  steel  plant  other  industries  will 
come.  The  Universal  Portland  Cement  Company  has  already 
begun  the  erection  of  a  plant  in  Duluth. 

Duluth's  commercial  scope  will  be  broadened  when  the  steel 
plant  and  allied  industries  are  in  operation,  but  Duluth  depends 
not  so  much  on  that  great  new  industry  as  upon  the  transportation 
changes  that  have  been  made  and  are  in  prospect  for  the  future. 
Duluth  has  always  had  its  strategic  location  at  the  head  of  lake 
navigation,  but  it  has  not  always  had  the  benefit  of  that  location. 
Before  the  days  of  governmental  regulation  of  railroads  and  official 
frowning  on  preferences,  the  railroads  of  the  Northwest  began  to 
ignore  the  rights  of  Duluth  through  its  location.  They  were 
engaged  in  building  a  great  commercial  center  at  the  Twin  Cities, 
and  one  of  the  foundations  in  that  construction  was  the  water 
competition  existing  at  Duluth. 

Four  years  ago  the  Commercial  Club  of  Duluth  made  a  sur- 
vey of  the  railroad  rate  situation,  and  especially  the  lake-and-rail 
rates.  It  found  that  Duluth  had  been  deprived  of  its  natural  advan- 
tages and  that  the  Commercial  Head  of  the  Lakes  had  been 
removed  from  its  geographical  location  to  an  artificial  location  at 
the  Twin  Cities.  The  Traffic  Commission  of  the  Commercial  Club 
took  the  case  to  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission.  Fourteen 
months  after  the  case  had  been  submitted,  the  length  of  time  indi- 
cating the  careful  consideration  given  by  the  commission,  the 
decision  was  handed  down.  It  upheld  Duluth's  contention  and 
ordered  a  new  adjustment  of  lake  and  rail  rates  that  is  a  benefit  not 
only  to  Duluth  but  to  every  other  community  in  the  Northwest 
outside  of  the  Twin  Cities. 

The  commission  held  that  though  Duluth  is  96  miles  farther 
by  water  from  Buffalo  than  is  Chicago,  Duluth  is  entitled  to  the 
same  rates  from  the  east  as  Chicago.  The  railroads  were  ordered 
to  cease  discrimination  against  Duluth  and  in  favor  of  the  Twin 


Cities.  Several  small  Minnesota  cities  joined  Duluth  in  the  action, 
and  the  commission  declared  that  "the  present  adjustment  works 
an  undue  discrimination  against  them."  Duluth  won  on  almost 
every  point,  and  won  not  only  for  itself  but  for  other  communities 
in  the  Northwest. 

Duluth  is  determined  to  obtain  an  equitable  adjustment  of 
rates,  and  especially  is  it  determined  to  have  the  Great  Lakes 
waterway  opened  to  all  the  people  of  the  Northwest  on  an  equit- 
able basis.  In  attacking  the  rate  structure  readjusted  under  the 
recent  decision,  it  was  not  actuated  by  jealousy  or  animosity 
toward  the  Twin  Cities,  but  purely  by  the  desire  to  see  Duluth  get 
its  rights  and  to  have  the  benefits  of  the  Great  Lakes  extended  to 
all  communities  on  an  equitable  basis. 

The  people  of  Duluth  hope  that  the  people  of  the  Northwest 
will  learn  properly  to  appreciate  what  the  Great  Lakes  mean  to 
them.  Without  the  deep  waterway  of  985  miles  from  Duluth  to 
Buffalo  the  great  development  that  has  come  to  the  Northwest 
would  have  been  impossible.  In  the  last  crop  year,  July  31,  1912,  to 
July  31,  1913,  110,084,173  bu.  of  American  grain  of  all  kinds  and 
232,313,953  bu.  of  Canadian  grain  were  sent  down  the  lakes  from 
Duluth.  No  railroad  man  would  think  that  the  railroad  systems 
of  the  Northwest  could  handle  such  an  immense  volume  of 
traffic,  when  under  present  conditions  car  shortages  are  yearly 
occurrences  during  the  movement  of  the  crops. 

Of  the  total  grain  movement  from  Duluth  in  the  last  crop 
year,  92,006,180  bu.  were  wheat.  The  average  rate  from  Duluth 
to  Buffalo  by  lake  was  2  cents  per  bushel.  The  rate  all-rail  between 
the  same  points  is  13.1  cents  per  bushel,  a  difference  of  11.1  cents 
per  bushel  in  favor  of  the  lake  route.  On  the  shipments  of  the 
year  the  saving  in  transportation  charges  was  thus  $10,322,575.98. 
On  the  same  basis  of  figuring  there  was  a  saving  in  transportation 
costs  of  $113,488,566.40  on  the  33,877,104  tons  of  iron  ore  shipped 
from  the  port  of  Duluth  in  the  1912  navigation  season,  a  saving  of 
$24,295,660.37  on  the  8,585,039  tons  of  coal  received  at  Duluth  and 
of  $1,277,860.20  on  the  326,118,000  ft.  of  lumber  shipped  from 
Duluth  in  that  season.  That  immense  saving  is  in  addition  to  the 
saving  effected  by  the  fact  that  the  all-rail  rates  in  the  Great  Lakes 
territory  are  materially  lower  than  the  rates  under  similar  trans- 
portation conditions  for  similar  distances  where  the  competition 
of  a  deep  waterway  does  not  exist. 

In  furtherance  of  its  desire  to  aid  the  development  of  the 


Northwest  and  at  the  same  time  increase  the  use  of  the  Great 
Lakes  waterway,  Dukith  people  are  now  interested  in  an  action  of 
immense  importance.  A  Duluth  creamery  company  has  filed  a 
complaint  with  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission,  asking  that 
the  boat  lines  be  compelled  to  provide  refrigerator  facilities  for  the 
transportation  of  butter,  eggs  and  poultry  by  boat.  The  all-rail 
rate  on  those  products  from  Duluth  or  the  Twin  Cities  to  New 
York  is  $1.05.  The  rate  from  Duluth,  by  lake  to  Buffalo  and  thence 
to  New  York  by  rail,  is  65  cents  per  100  pounds,  a  possible  saving  of 
40  cents  per  100  pounds  if  the  pending  action  is  successful.  Minne- 
sota last  year  produced  151,893,924  lbs.  of  butter,  of  which  90  per 
cent  moved  out  of  the  state,  and  70  per  cent  of  that  movement  went 
to  Buffalo  and  other  eastern  points.  The  total  movement  to  the 
east  was  thus  about  95,693,172  lbs.  If  it  had  taken  the  lake  route, 
instead  of  going  all-rail,  the  saving  in  transportation  charges 
would  have  been  $382,772.68.  The  fact  that  the  boat  lines  have 
heretofore  refused  to  furnish  refrigerator  facilities  may  be 
attributed  to  the  fact  that  general  merchandise  boats  on  the  lakes 
are  owned  and  controlled  by  the  railroad  lines  with  which  they 
are  supposed  to  compete.  That  is  a  situation  the  Duluth  people 
hope  also  to  see  corrected  in  time. 

In  addition  to  a  saving  in  rates,  transportation  by  water  would 
lay  Minnesota  butter,  eggs  and  poultry  down  in  the  Eastern  mar- 
kets in  better  condition  than  after  rail  transportation,  according 
to  authorities  on  refrigeration.  Consequently,  higher  prices  to 
the  producer  would  certainly  result. 

The  following  table  gives  an  idea  of  the  difference  in  rates  on 
farm  products  between  the  lake  and  the  all-rail  means  of  trans- 
portation :

Duluth  is  not  unappreciative  of  the  responsibilities  of  its  posi- 
tion. As  the  gateway  to  the  Northwest,  it  must  give  service.  In 
all  its  rate  litigation  and  trade  extension  work  it  has  held  that  the 
development  of  the  country  Duluth  serves  is  of  just  as  great  im-

portance  as  the  development  of  Duluth  itself.  Duluth  cannot  grow 
unless  the  country  back  of  it  grows;  Duluth's  growth  will  be  of 
benefit  to  the  Northwest.  The  interest  of  Duluth  and  the  North- 
west are  mutual.  Every  settler  brought  into  the  Northwest  is  an 
addition  to  the  consuming  capacity  of  Duluth's  trade  territory. 
Every  rate  change  that  will  increase  the  volume  of  traffic  through 
Duluth  will  be  an  aid  to  Duluth.  Duluth  does  not  want  the  great 
waterway  of  the  Great  Lakes  to  itself.  It  wants  the  cheap  means 
of  transportation  used  by  everybody  within  reach  of  the  Great 
Lakes. 

The  markets  of  the  East  must  look  to  the  West  for  supplies. 
The  East  cannot  produce  a  sufficient  amount  of  farm  products 
to  supply  the  densely  populated  centers.  Cheap  transportation  on 
the  Great  Lakes  is  an  economic  saving  shared  in  by  all  the  people. 

The  volume  of  traffic  on  the  Great  Lakes  is  now  heavy.  The 
port  of  Duluth  alone  handled  41,000,000  tons  of  freight  in  the 
season  of  1912.  The  development  of  traffic  has  been  gradual  and 
steady.  In  1900  the  movement  of  freight  through  the  Duluth 
harbor  was  only  a  little  over  14,000,000  tons.  Every  year  has 
shown  a  substantial  increase,  and  unless  all  theories  of  economy 
are  unsound,  every  year  will  continue  to  show  an  increase  ad 
infinitum.  The  Northwest  is  developing  rapidly.  There  is  no 
appreciable  limit  to  its  possibilities  of  production  and  receipt  of 


tonnage. 


While  discussing  the  Great  Lakes  it  is  always  well  to  remem- 
ber that  they  must  be  considered  in  a  class  with  the  ocean  routes, 
rather  than  with  the  shallow  artificial  canal.  The  Great  Lakes 
needed  only  a  comparatively  small  amount  of  attention  from  the 
national  government  to  complete  a  deep  water  highway  nearly 
1,000  miles  in  length  from  Buffalo  to  Duluth.  The  artificial  canal 
with  its  shallow  depth,  topograhical  obstacles  and  excessive  trans- 
shipment costs  for  small  cargoes  and  short  distances,  is  not  to  be 
compared  with  the  Great  Lakes  as  an  economic  factor.  While  the 
students  of  transportation  are  at  variance  over  the  value  of  arti- 
ficial canals,  and  many  eminent  authorities  declare  that  the 
artificial  canal,  or  even  the  canalized  river  of  shallow  depth,  cannot 
compete  with  the  railroads  in  the  United  States,  there  is  no  doubt 
as  to  the  dominant  position  of  the  Great  Lakes  as  a  transportation 
factor  in  the  territory  they  serve.

SPECIAL  UNIVERSITY  DICTIONARY  NUMBER 


This  is  the  regular  issue  of  the  Weekly 
for  November  10th,  1913.  This  issue  con- 
tains full  information  about  the  University 
— its  past  and  present.  Everyone  who  has 
ever  been  connected  with  the  faculty  or 
otherwise  officially  connected  with  the  Uni- 
versity is  listed  in  this  dictionary  and  the 
biographical  information  given  is  as  com- 
plete as  it  has  been  possible  to  make  it. 
Over  fifteen  hundred  persons  are  listed. 
The  information  concerning  the  University, 
organizations,  events,  etc.,  has  all  been  gath- 
ered from  the  most  reliable  sources  and  has 
been  checked  in  every  possible  way  to  elim- 
inate errors.  It  is  hoped  that  the  informa- 
tion may  be  of  interest  to  every  subscriber 
to  the  Weekly  and  that  subscribers  gen- 
erally will  preserve  this  number  and  keep 
it  where  they  can  refer  to  it  from  time  to 
time  during  the  coming  years.  Form  the 
habit  of  turning  to  this  dictionary  when  you 
want  information  about  the  University  or 
anything  connected  with  its  past  history. 
The  chances  are  good  that  you  will  find 
what  3''ou  are  looking  for. 


We  tried  to  secure  a  picture  of  every 
member  of  the  faculty  holding  the  rank 
of  assistant  professor  or  higher  rank;  the 
fact  that  a  considerable  number  are  not 
included  should  not  be  charged  against  the 
Weekly.  Some  professors  begged  to  be 
excused  and  some  neglected  it  until  it  was 
too  late. 

We  request  anyone  who  finds  any  error 
of  any  sort  in  this  book  to  report  the  same. 

Subscribers  will  readily  recognize  the 
fact  that  this  number  must  have  cost  a 
lot  of  money.  Our  advertisers  have  made 
it  possible  to  furnish  it  without  extra  ex- 
pense— remember  this  when  you  make  pur- 
chases and  don't  forget  to  tell  them  you  saw 
their  advertisement  in  the  Weekly.  It  helps 
a  great  deal  and  it  doesn't  cost  a  cent. 

Through  the  courtesy  of  alumni  and  other 
friends  of  the  University,  living  in  northern 
Minnesota,  the  Weekly  is  able  to  place 
bound  copies  of  this  number  in  the  libraries 
of  high  schools  and  newspapers  of  Minne- 
sota.

JOHN  S.  PILLSBURY 
'Father  of  the  University" 


ALUMNI  WEEKLY 


Brief  Historical   Sketch. 

For  completer  history  of  the  University, 
see  Forty  Years  of  the  University  of 
Minnesota. 
The  University  of  Minnesota  was  origi- 
nally organized  by  the  legislature  of  1851, 
under  date  of  February  13th.  It  was  re- 
organized February  14th,  i860,  and  again 
in  1864,  and  dates  its  real  beginning  from 
the  reorganization  of  February  18th,  1868, 
the  date  of  its  actual  beginning  as  an  in- 
stitution of  learning.  The  whole  period 
from  185 1  to  1868  might  well  be  ignored 
were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  some  things 
were  done  during-  that  period  which  have 
had  great  influence  upon  the  later  history 
of  the  University. 


ized  the  regents  to  borrow  $15,000  on  the 
site  purchased  for  $6,000.00.  This  money 
to  be  used  to  take  up  notes  and  erect  a 
building. 

The  regents  did  not  follow  instructions 
but  undertook  the  construction  of  one 
wing  of  the  Old  Main  at  an  estimated  cost 
of  about  $50,000.00,  expecting  to  pay  for 
the  same  by  sale  of  stumpage.  A  com- 
bination of  hard  luck  and  hard  times  came 
upon  the  regents.  Stumpage  could  not 
be  sold  and  interest  charges  mounted  at 
the  rate  of  2  per  cent  a  month.  Before  the 
debts  were  finally  settled,  the  new  site  and 
building  had  cost  about  $125,000.00.  We 
can  hardlv  appreciate  the  desperate  state 
of  affairs  at  that  time.  The  legislature  of 
i860  met  and  a  reorganization  was  effected. 


Old  Academy  Building  in  the  Foreground 


The  following  is  a  very  brief  history  of 
that  period.  The  location  of  the  Univer- 
sity was  fixed  at  or  near  the  Falls  of  St. 
Anthony,  and  a  gift  of  land,  about  four 
acres,  from  Franklin  Steele  was  accepted. 
This  land  was  located  near  the  intersection 
of  University  and  Central  avenues.  A 
building  was  erected  upon  this  land,  at  a 
cost  of  about  $2,500.00,  raised  by  voluntary 
subscription.  The  building  was  erected 
and  for  many  years  was  known  as  the 
"Preparatory  Department  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Minnesota."  School  was  opened  in 
this  building  by  the  Rev.  Elijah  W.  Mer- 
rill, November  26th,  1851,  with  an  enroll- 
ment of  twenty.  Mr.  Merrill  received  his 
pay  from  tuition  and  likewise  paid  for  all 
assistance  and  other  expenses.  The  school 
was  discontinued  in  1853,  and  though  the 
regents  allowed  several  other  persons  the 
use  of  the  building  for  private  school  pur- 
poses, little  was  accomplished. 

On  the  19th  of  February,  1851,  Congress 
granted  the  University  two  townships  of 
land,  45,257.39  acres,  for  an  endowment. 
This  land  was  located  and  some  stumpage 
was  sold. 

In  1854  the  regents  purchased  twenty- 
five  and  one-third  acres  of  the  present 
campus  for  $6,000  paying  for  the  same  with 
$1,000  borrowed  money  and  notes  for  the 
balance.      The    legislature    of    1856   author- 


But  the  powers  of  the  new  board  were  not 
sufficient  to  allow  the  tangled  affairs  of  the 
University  to  be  straightened  out,  and  in 
1864  the  legislature  named  three  men — 
John  S.  Pillsbury,  O.  C.  Merriman  and 
John  Nichols,  a  board  of  regents  with 
special  powers  to  sell  lands  and  pay  debts. 
After  three  years  of  strenuous  service,  this 
board  was  able  to  report  that  practically 
all  debts  had  been  paid  and  a  little  less 
than  fifteen  thousand  acres  of  land  had 
been  sold.  15,410.85  acres  were  finally  sold 
for  this  purpose. 

The  legislature  of  1867  made  an  appropri- 
ation of  $15,000  for  repairs  on  the  building 
and  to  tsegin  instruction.  A  faculty  of 
three  was  employed  and  instruction  in  pre- 
paratory subjects  offered  and  about  fifty 
students  were  enrolled. 

The  following  year  the  legislature  re- 
organized the  University  and  the  real  his- 
tory of  the  University  as  an  institution  of 
learning  was  begun. 

Three  other  matters  settled  during  this 
period  deserve  mention.  When  the  state 
was  admitted  to  the  Union  in  1857  the  en- 
abling act  gave  the  state  45,661.14  acres  of 
land  for  the  use  of  a  state  university.  The 
regents  attempted  to  secure  these  lands 
but  it  was  not  until  1870  that  the  conten- 
tion of  the  University  was  conceded  and 
the  lands  secured. 


THE  MINNESOTA 


The  charter  of  the  University  adopted 
in  1868  gave  the  University  the  lands, 
94,429.38  acres,  which  had  been  made  over 
to  the  agricultural  college  located  at  Glen- 
coe.  This  is  one  of  the  most  important 
results   attained   during   this  period. 

The  few  attempts  to  maintain  a  school 
in  the  west  wing  of  the  Old  Main  building 
were  failures.  For  only  one  of  these  were 
the  regents  sponsors  and  then  the  school 
lasted  less  than  six  months.  The  other  at- 
tempts were  made  by  individuals  who  were 
allowed  the  free  use  of  the  building  for  the 
purpose. 

The   Administration   of   President   Folwell. 

Instruction  in  preparatory  subjects  was 
ofifered  for  two  years,  1867-68,  and  1868-69. 
In  the  summer  of  1869  a  University  faculty 


made  only  through  overcoming  difficulties 
that  seemed  almost  insuperable.  It  was 
not  until  i88r,  three  years  before  the  close 
of  President  Folwell's  administration,  that 
the  legislature  came  to  recognize  the  im- 
portance of  the  University  and  made  an 
appropriation  of  $180,000,  running  through 
a  period  of  six  years,  for  the  purpose  of 
providing  for  the  construction  of  addition- 
al and  much  needed  buildings.  June  19th, 
1873,  marked  the  graduation  of  the  first 
class  to  complete  the  full  four  year's  work 
in  the  University.  On  that  day  were  grad- 
uated William  Clark  Eustis  and  Henry 
]\Iartyn  Williamson,  who  both  received  the 
degree   of  bachelor  of  arts. 

The  legislature  of  that  same  year  appro- 
priated $50,000  for  the  completion  of  the 
Old  Main   building  and  the  erection  of  an 


New  Campus  View — Artist's  Sketch — Washington  Avenue 


of  nine  members,  with  Dr.  William  Watts 
Folwell  as  president,  was  elected.  This 
faculty  included  the  three  who  had  previ- 
ously been  in  charge  of  the  preparatory 
school.  The  University  began  its  actual 
work  of  instruction,  September  iSth,  1869. 
The  preparatory  school  had  settled  for 
all  time  the  question  of  co-education. 
Young  women  presented  themselves  for 
admission  and  were  taken  in  without  ques- 
tion. The  early  years  of  the  administra- 
tion of  President  Folwell  were  largely  tak- 
en up  in  working  out  a  plan  of  organiza- 
tion for  the  University.  In  his  opening  ad- 
dress in  the  Old  yia'm  building,  December 
22nd,  1869,  Dr.  Folwell  outlined  his  ideas 
of  what  a  University  should  be,  emphasiz- 
ing his  feeling  that  the  university  should 
be  in  the  best  sense  of  the  word,  practical 
— that  is,  prepare  students  for  the  relations 
in  society  in  which  they  will  find  them- 
selves after  graduation.  In  this  address 
Dr.  Folwell  said,  "There  is,  as  I  have  said, 
but  one  resource — the  State  must  endow 
the  University,  and  if  the  State  will  have 
the  University  in  its  full  proportion,  let 
her  first  count  the  cost  and  take  the  mil- 
lion   for    her    unit." 

The    early    days    of    this    administration 
were  most  discouraging  and  progress  was 


agricultural  building.  The  ]\Iain  building 
was  completed  so  that  the  exercises  of 
commencement  of  1875  could  be  held  in  it. 
The  agricultural  building  was  completed 
for  the  opening  of  the  following  college 
year. 

Among  the  important  events  of  Dr.  Fol- 
well's administration  was  the  organization 
of  the  geological  and  natural  history  sur- 
vey, the  organization  of  the  state  high 
school  board  to  encourage  the  establish- 
ment of  high  schools,  and  the  organization 
of  the  medical  department  as  an  examin- 
ing board.  The  far  reaching  effects  of  the 
organization  of  the  high  school  board, 
particularly,  mark  its  establishment  as  a 
matter   of   unusual    importance. 

In  1S80  there  came  a  crisis  in  the  inter- 
nal affairs  of  the  Universit^^  Up  to  that 
time  the  regents  had  been  accustomed  to 
elect  the  faculty  annualh^  When  the  elec- 
tion of  that  year  was  held  onlj^  five  of  the 
eleven  members  were  re-elected.  It  was 
at  that  time  that  Professors  Sanford,  Pike, 
Downy,  Ormond,  Dodge  and  Benton  were 
brought  to  the  University  to  fill  the  places 
of  those  who  had  failed  of  re-election. 
This  date  seems  to  mark  a  decided  change 
of  sentiment  of  the  legislature  toward  the 
University  and  the  following  year  the  larg- 


ALUMNI  WEEKLY 


5 


est  appropriation  ever  made  up  to  that 
time,  $180,000,  for  new  ])uildings,  was 
made. 

It  is  also  worthy  of  note  that  as  early 
as  1874,  Dr.  Folwell  submitted  to  the  re- 
gents a  plan  for  the  esta1)lishment  of 
courses  in  agriculture,  substantially  the 
same  as  those  adopted  by  the  regents 
when  the  agricultural  school  was  estab- 
lished, fourteen   years  later. 

Soon  after  Dr.  Folwell  became  president, 
he  began  agitating  the  (luestion  of  more 
land  for  the  University  campus,  and  ap- 
propriations were  secured  which  practical- 
ly doubled  the  size  of  the  campus  as  is  was 
when  he  came  to  the  University.  Later, 
toward  the  close  of  his  administration,  he 
earnestly  urged  the  regents  to  sell  the  Uni- 
versity  campus   and    to   move    the    Univer- 


a  more  liberal  and  far-sighted  policy  for 
the  University.  We  take  the  date  first 
mentioned,  however,  since  it  marks  a  con- 
venient, though  not  absolutely  accurate, 
dividing  line  between  the  old  and  the  new. 
The  high  reputation  that  President 
Northron  had  won  as  a  college  professor 
was  eclipsed  by  his  conspicuous  success 
as  an  executive.  For  twenty-six  years  he 
was  at  the  head  of  the  University.  He  be- 
gan his  administration  by  building  upon 
the  solid  foundation  laid  by  his  predeces- 
sor, and,  taking  the  high  school  board  sys- 
tem as  he  found  it,  he  made  much  of  the 
possibilities  of  that  system  to  promote  the 
growth  of  the  University.  The  marvelous 
growth  of  the  University  during  the  years 
of  his  administration  was  due  in  no  small 
measure  to  the  way  in  which  he  kept  the 


New  Campus  View— Artist's  Sketch— Medical  Group 


sity  bodily  to  the  north  shore  of  Lake 
Minnetonka  where  a  section  of  land  could 
be  secured.  It  was  also  during  Dr.  Fol- 
well's  administration  that  the  Minnetonka 
fruit  farm  was  established  and  successful 
extension  work  in  agriculture  instituted. 
Despite  the  discouragements  of  the  early 
days  of  his  administration.  Dr.  Folwell  was 
destined  to  see  a  change  of  sentiment  on 
the  part  of  the  people  of  the  state  before 
its  close.  In  1883  President  Folwell  asked 
the  regents  to  accept  his  resignation  which 
had  been  in  their  hands  for  many  years 
previous.  The  regents  accepted  his  resig- 
nation and  requested  Dr.  Folwell  to  con- 
tinue in  service  until  his  successor  was 
elected,  which  he  did.  When  the  election 
of  Cyrus  Northrop  to  the  presidency  took 
place.  Dr.  Folwell  was  chosen  professor 
of  political  science  and  librarian,  positions 
which  he  held  until  his  final  resignation 
from   the   University   in    1907. 

President  ISlorthrop's  Administration. 

The  year  1X84-85,  tlie  closing  of  Dr.  Fol- 
well's  and  the  beginning  of  President 
Northrop's  administration,  furnishes  a  nat- 
ural dividing  line  in  the  history  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  real  dividing  line  should  be 
1881,  for  it  was  the  legislature  of  that 
year  that   put   itself   on   record  as   favoring 


University    in    close    touch    with    the    high 
school  system  of  the   state. 

The  first  problem  to  engage  the  atten- 
tion of  President  Northrop  was  the  estab- 
lishment of  an  agricultural  course  to  meet 
the  demands  that  were  growing  ever  more 
and  more  insistent.  How  this  was  done 
may  be  read  in  another  part  of  this  book 
describing  the  establishment  of  the  school 
of  agriculture.  Associated  with  this  prob- 
lem of  the  establishment  of  a  proper  sys- 
tem of  agricultural  education  was  the  prob- 
lem to  retain  the  institution  intact.  A 
desperate  efifort  was  made  by  those  who 
felt  that  agriculture  was  not  receiving  its 
proper  recognition  in  the  University,  to 
have  the  University  dismembered  and  an 
independent  school  of  agriculture  estab- 
lished. It  was  about  this  time,  1887,  that 
President  Northrop  made  his  great  speech 
on  agricultural  education  which  helped  to 
turn  the  tide  and  prevent  the  dismember- 
ment of  the  institution.  The  real  crisis  in 
the  situation  was  reached  when  the  legisla- 
ture of  1887  met;  it  seemed  that  nothing 
could  prevent  the  separation  of  the  agri- 
cultural college  from  the  rest  of  the  insti- 
tution. Governor  Pillsbury  stepped  in  and 
ofifered  to  build  a  science  building,  now 
known  as  Pillsbury  hall,  and  donate  it  to 
the    state,    provided    the    legislature    would

put  itself  on  record  as  being  forever  and 
irrevocably  opposed  to  such  separation. 
The  question  was  settled  for  all  time  and  it 
has  never  been  a  really  live  question  since 
that  date. 

Three  years  prior  to  the  beginning  of  the 
school  of  agriculture,  1885,  the  University 
had  discovered  Mr.  Gregg  and  had  started 
him  on  his  institute  work  through  the 
state.  This  service,  rendered  the  cause  of 
agriculture,  undoubtedly  had  its  weight  in 
securing  the  final  settlement  of  the  ques- 
tion of  the  dismemberment  in  favor  of 
maintaining  the  integrity  of  the  institution. 


students,  the  problem  was  no  light  one, 
but  President  Xorthrop's  wonderful  hold 
on  the  people  of  the  state,  and  their  faith 
in  him,  made  it  possible  to  secure  from  the 
legislature  support,  which,  though  not 
wholly  adequate,  served  to  support  the 
University  and  to  enable  it  to  make  some 
real  progress. 

Beginning  with  the  year,  1901,  there 
came  the  creation  of  the  board  of  control 
of  state  institutions,  whose  history  may  be 
found  elsewhere  in  this  book.  The  Uni- 
versity was  brought  under  its  control.  The 
conditions    of    dual    control   were    unendur- 


President  and  Mrs.  Vincent 


The  next  great  step  forward  was  at  the 
opening  of  the  year  1888-89  when  the  col- 
lege of  law  and  the  department  of  medi- 
cine with  its  three  colleges,  were  estab- 
lished. Up  to  that  time  the  institution  had 
been  really  nothing  but  a  college  of  liberal 
arts  in  which  courses  in  engineering  and 
agriculture  were  fostered  and  had  come  to 
have  a  nominally  independent  existence. 

The  problem,  for  practically  the  balance 
of  President  Northrop's  administration, 
was  to  keep  pace  with  the  rapid  growth  of 
the  institution  and  to  provide  for  the  ever 
increasing  flood  of  students  that  clamored 
for  admission.  With  an  average  annual 
increase    of    something    like    two    hundred 


able.  The  two  boards,  with  the  best  of 
intentions  to  get  along  harmoniously, 
could  not  manage  one  institution  and  de- 
termined effort  was  made  to  have  the  law 
repealed.  Two  years  went  by  and  no 
attempt  was  made  to  put  the  law  into 
force,  because  it  was  known  that  here  was 
a  question  as  to  the  constitutionality  of  the 
law  and  also  it  was  known  that  the  legis- 
lature did  not  really  intend  to  include  the 
University  under  the  provisions  of  the  law. 
But  when  the  legislature  of  1903  had  had 
the  matter  up  and,  through  political  ma- 
chinations, had  been  brought  to  decide 
against  the  release  of  the  University,  there 
was   nothing  to   do   but  to   bow  gracefully

to  the  inevitable  and  go  to  work  to  secure 
relief  at  the  next  session.  This  was  done. 
The  alumni  and  other  friends  of  the  Uni- 
versity rallied  to  the  support  of  Alma  Mat- 
er and  made  themselves  so  insistent  that 
a  notable  and  overwhelming  victory  was 
won. 

The  need  of  the  University  for  the  sup- 
port of  its  alumni  was  clearly  demonstrat- 
ed in  1901.  Nobly  did  the  alumni  respond. 
A  General  Alumni  Association,  represent- 
ing all  departments  of  the  University,  was 
organized,  and  the  alumni  came  to  know 
and  realize  their  responsibility  for  the  wel- 
fare of  the  University.  This  arousing  of 
the  alumni  in  the  interests  of  the  Univer- 
sity is  a  mile  stone  that  marked  the  begin- 
ning of  bigger  and  better  things. 


to  secure  from  the  legislature  money  to  se- 
cure a  much  needed  addition  to  the  campus. 
This  campaign  was  likewise  successful  and 
the  University  received  an  appropriation 
of  $450,000  which  was  supplemented  two 
years  later  by  an  additional  appropriation 
of  $350,000  and  in  addition  received  contri- 
butions from  citizens  of  Minneapolis 
amounting  to  $40,000,  with  which  to  pur- 
chase land  practically  doubling  the  size  of 
the  campus. 

In  December,  1909,  President  Northrop 
placed  his  resignation  with  the  board  of 
regents,  to  take  effect  when  his  successor 
should  be  elected  and  qualify.  A  succes- 
sor was  not  chosen  until  a  year  later,  when 
George  Edgar  Vincent,  of  the  University 
of  Chicago,  was  selected  to  fill  the  position.

The  rapid  growth  of  the  institution  had 
made  proper  provision  for  its  support 
practically  impossible.  Salaries  were  in- 
adeouate  and  the  campus  was  fast  being 
crowded  to  its  limits.  There  had  been 
rapidly  growing  a  feeling  that  a  change 
must  be  made  if  the  institution  was  to  con- 
tinue to  serve  the  state  as  it  should.  In 
the  year  1907  a  determined  campaign  was 
made  to  secure  for  the  University  a  lib- 
eral increase  in  current  expense  fund,  in 
order  to  allow  of  a  material  increase  in 
University  salaries.  The  campaign  was 
successful  and  a  general  raise  of  about  30 
per  cent  was  made  in  faculty  salaries.  This 
general  raise  had  been  supplemented  since 
that  date  and  now  salaries  average  about 
50  per  cent  more  than  they  did  prior  to 
1907.     The  same  year  an  effort  was  made 


President  Northrop  remained  in  charge  of 
the  institution  until  the  ist  of  April,  1911, 
when  he  turned  over  the  institution  to  his 
successor. 

For  two  years  President  Vincent  has 
been  in  charge.  The  record  of  these  two 
years  is  a  wonderful  record.  President 
Vincent  already  enjoys  the  loyal  support 
of  the  people  of  the  State.  He  has  been 
able  to  bring  about  many  desired  changes 
and  has  made  University  extension  such  a 
reality  that  the  phrase — "A  state-wide 
campus,"  seems  not  unlikely  to  be  realized. 
It  is  as  yet  too  early  to  do  more  than  in- 
dicate, as  we  have  in  the  foregoing  state- 
ment, that  Minnesota  has  been  most  for- 
tunate in  choosing  a  successor  to  Presi- 
dent   Northrop.

Administration  (Main)  Building.  This 
building  of  the  department  of  agriculture 
is  in  the  form  of  a  "T",  248  feet  in  length 
and  145  feet  in  depth.  It  is  three  stories 
and  basement  and  is  of  fire  proof  construc- 
tion. The  material  used  is  brown  pressed 
brick  and  Bedford  stone.  A  striking  fea- 
ture of  the  interior  is  the  great  stone  en- 
trance hall  and  stairs,  finished  in  polished 
Kasota  marble.  This  material  has  been 
used  for  the  floors  and  halls  throughout  the 
building.  The  first  floor  contains  the  ex- 
ecutive offices  of  the  school,  college  and 
experiment  station,  together  with  library 
and  reading  room,  as  well  as  seminars  and 
farm  accounts  room  and  a  beautiful  and 
spacious  auditorium  and  stage,  the  audito- 
rium and  gallery  being  capable  of  seating 
1,000  people. 

The  second  floor  contains  the  entomo- 
logical and  sewing  departments.  The  en- 
tire building  is  finished  in  weathered  oak 
and  the  walls  and  ceilings  in  quiet  but 
pleasing  colors.  The  heating  is  by  steam 
which  in  combination  with  a  blower  sys- 
tem   furnishes    abundant    fresh    warm    air 


throughout  the  building  at  all  times.  The 
lighting  is  by  electricity. 

Age  Limit.  The  University  regulation 
regarding  the  age  limit  for  retiring  mem- 
bers of  the  teaching  staff  is  sixty-eight 
years.  The  rule  works  automatically  and 
it  requires  direct  and  positive  action  by 
the  board  of  regents  to  suspend  its  action 
in  any  particular  case. 

Agrarian,  The,  was  founded  by  the  sen- 
ior class  of  1913  of  the  school  of  agricul- 
ture. This  publication  is  a  senior  annual 
and  occupies  the  same  relative  place  in 
the  life  of  the  school  of  agriculture  as  the 
Gopher  does  in  the  student  life  of  the 
University. 

Agricultural  Athletic  Club.  This  club 
was  organized  at  the  department  of  agri- 
culture in  the  spring  of  1913.  Its  purpose 
being  to  manage  athletics  at  the  depart- 
ment of  agriculture  and  to  serve  as  an  ad- 
junct to  the  general  athletic  association  of 
the  University. 

Agricultural        Chemistry        Laboratory, 

erected  in  1902,  at  a  cost  of  $30,000,  and 
in  1904,  $5,000  was  added  in  way  of  equip- 
ment. Contains  the  office  of  the  chemist 
of  the  department  and  the  station;  labor- 
atories for  practice  in  elementary  agricul- 
tural chemistry,  chemistry  of  foods  and 
soils  and  fertilizers  and  domestic  chemis- 
try; work  rooms,  recitation  rooms  for 
classes  in  chemistry. 

Agricultural  Club  was  organized  in  1910 
and  has  a  membership  of  160.  Its  purpose 
is  to  serve  as  a  medium  for  registering 
the  sentiment  of  agricultural  students;  to 
promote  the  interest  of  the  students,  the 
college  as  a  whole,  and  to  advance  the  call- 
ing of  agriculture.  Bi-weekly  meetings  are 
held  at  which  there  are  discussions  and 
social  features.  Occasional  lectures  by  out- 
side authorities  are  secured.  The  club  con- 
templates taking  into  its  membership  peo- 
ple outside  the  University  and  also  the 
holding  of  an  annual  meeting  of  all  mem- 
bers, so  as  to  give  the  club  membership  in 
the  Farmers  National  Congress.

stories    high. 

Agricultural  Education.  A  speech  de- 
livered before  the  State  Horticultural  so- 
ciety, in  the  hall  of  the  house  of  repre- 
sentatives, January  19th,  1887,  by  President 
Cyrus   Northrop. 

Agricultural  Engineering  building  and 
shops,  completed  in  1913.  The  building  is 
used  for  offices,  class  rooms,  and  shops.  Is 
of  fireproof  construction  and  cost  $260,000. 

Agricultural    Experiment    Stations.      The 

main  agricultural  experiment  station  is 
located  at  St.  Anthony  Park  and  embraces 
408.75  acres,  and  in  addition  120  acres  are 
rented  for  experimental  purposes.  There 
are  sub-stations  at  Crookston  of  462  acres; 
at  Grand  Rapids  of  454.6  acres;  at  Morris 
of  292.55  acres;  at  Duluth  of  240  acres;  at 
Waseca    of    246.02    acres;    at    Excelsior    of 


carried  along  in  connection  with  the  work 
of  instruction  in  the  department  of  agri- 
culture and  it  is  impossible  to  draw  a  line 
and  say  that  here  the  work  of  one  ends 
and  the  work  of  the  other  begins,  for  each 
is  dependent  upon  the  other,  despite  the 
fact  that  the  experiment  station  is  an  in- 
dependent institution. 

The  various  lines  of  work  carried  on  at 
the  central  station  include  ten  divisions  as 
follows:  (i)  Dairy  and  animal  husbandry, 
(2)  Agronomy  and  farm  management,  (3) 
Horticulture,  (4)  Veterinary  science,  (5)

77.89  acres  and  at  Cloquet  of  2640  acres. 
The  experiment  station  was  originally  es- 
tablished by  act  of  the  legislature,  ap- 
proved March  7,  1885,  and  placed  under 
the  control  of  the  Board  of  Regents.  The 
act  carried  no  appropriation.  An  act  of 
Congress,  known  as  the  Hatch  Bill,  ap- 
proved IMarch  2,  1887,  appropriated  $15,000 
annually  for  the  support  of  the  work  of 
investigation  and  experiment  stations  es- 
tablished in  various  states.  Minnesota 
complied  with  the  provisions  of  the  law 
and  since  1887  has  received  $15,000  annu- 
ally for  the  purposes  specified.  This  ap- 
propriation was  supplemented  by  the  pro- 
visions of  the  Adams  Bill,  approved  in 
1906,  by  which  the  experiment  station  re- 
ceived an  initial  appropriation  of  $5,000 
with  an  increase  of  $2,000  a  year  until  a 
maximum  of  $15,000  annually  was  reached. 
At  the  present  time  the  state  appropriates 
approximately  $150,000  annually  to  carry 
on  work  at  these  various  experiment  sta- 
tions. 

The    w^ork    of    the    experiment    station    is 


tion  with  the  agricultural  schools  located 
at  those  places.  The  stations  at  Minne- 
tonka  and  Owatonna  are  devoted  to  fruit 
and  tree  culture  and  breeding.  Those  at 
Cloquet  and  Itasca  to  forestry  investiga- 
tions. 

Agricultural  Land  Grant.  An  act  of  the 
legislature  of  Minnesota,  passed  March  10, 
1858,  set  aside  lands  in  McLeod  county  for 
a  site  for  an  agricultural  college  and  for 
an  experimental  farm.  This  institution 
was  to  be  under  the  control  of  the  presi- 
dent and  executive  committee  of  the  state 
agricultural  society.  In  1861  the  state  do- 
nated to  this  college  all  the  swamp  lands 
of  McLeod  county.  Nothing  was  ever  done 
toward  organizing  a  college  at  this  place. 
The  congressional  grant  of  1863  was  ac- 
cepted and  the  lands  located  and,  because 
the  affairs  of  the  University  were  in  such 
unsettled  condition,  these  lands  were  made 
over  to  the  agricultural  college  at  Glencoe, 
in  1866.  The  following  year,  the  special 
board  of  three  made  a  report  showing  a 
wiping   out   of  the   debt   of   the   University

and  32,000  acres  of  the  territorial  grant 
still  untouched.  Through  the  good  offices 
of  Regent  Pillsbury,  then  senator,  the  two 
grants  were  consolidated  and  given  to  the 
University.  It  was  provided  that  the 
swamp  lands  granted  to  the  McLeod  insti- 
tution, which  amounted  to  4,684  acres, 
should  remain  in  the  possession  of  that 
institution  as  an  endowment  of  Stevens 
Seminary.  See  Congressional  Land  Grants. 
Agricultural  Museums.  Practically  every 
division  of  the  department  of  agriculture 
has  made  collections  of  material  that  bear 
upon  instruction  in  that  department.  These 
collections  are  very  important  and  valu- 
able. 

Agriculture,  The  Department  of.  The 
main  division  of  the  department  of  agri- 
culture is  located  at  St.  Anthony  Park,  on 
a  farm  of  about  420  acres.  Other  divisions 
of  the  department  are  located  at  Crook- 
ston   and    Morris,   Minn.,   where   schools   of 


tion,  may  attend  the  classes  and  undergo 
examinations  in  any  subject,  and  if  suc- 
cessful will  receive  a  certificate  to  that 
effect."  In  addition  to  the  college  course, 
an  elementary  course,  outlined  especially 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  prospective  farm- 
er, was  provided.  In  1875-76,  a  special 
lecture  course  for  men  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  farming  was  offered  upon  con- 
dition that  thirty  persons  signify  their  in- 
tention to  pursue  the  course.  This  course 
of  lectures  was  to  extend  through  ten 
\veeks  and  to  be  both  scientific  and  prac- 
tical and  no  fees,  examinations  or  condi- 
tions were  prescribed  for  admission.  Special 
effort  was  made  to  secure  the  attendance 
of  practical  farmers  upon  this  special  lec- 
ure  course,  and  though  the  course  was 
offered,  without  restrictions  of  any  kind, 
for  five  years,  the  demand  did  not  justify 
its  being  given.  In  1881-82,  191  students 
were    enrolled    in    this    course,    though    the

at  Grand  Rapids,  Duluth,  Waseca,  Owa- 
tonna,  Cloquet,  Itasca  Park  and  Lake  Min- 
netonka,  where  experiment  stations  and 
demonstration  farms  are  maintained.  Pro- 
vision for  the  creation  of  this  department 
was  made  in  the  charter  of  the  University 
and  the  College  of  Agriculture  was  one  of 
the  first  colleges  to  be  organized.  The  first 
organization,  which  was  intended  to  be 
merely  tentative  and  which  lasted  for  but 
two  years,  provided  for  a  college  of  agri- 
culture and  the  mechanic  arts.  The  reor- 
ganization of  1871,  established  this  college 
as  an  independent  college.  Originally  the 
work  of  this  college  was  the  same  as  for 
the  college  of  science,  literature  and  arts, 
up  to  the  end  of  the  sophomore  year  and 
the  degree  of  bachelor  of  agriculture  was 
conferred  upon  those  who  completed  this 
course  and  the  two  years  of  special  agri- 
cultural work  of  the  junior  and  senior 
years.  It  was  also  provided  that  ''any  per- 
son not  a  candidate  for  a  degree,  who  may 
appear  to  be  competent  to  receive  instruc- 


course  had  to  be  reduced  to  six  weeks,  in- 
stead of  the  ten  weeks  that  had  been  pre- 
viously offered.  The  following  year  the 
attendance  in  this  lecture  course  increased 
to  281;  the  total  attendance  in  the  other 
courses  in  this  college  having  increased  to 
10.  In  1882-83,  the  attendance  of  this 
course  increased  to  1118. 

This  large  attendance  was  secured  by 
offering  popular  lectures  upon  subjects  re- 
lated to  agriculture  and  home  economics. 

Then  for  several  years  the  attendance 
dropped  off  entirely  and  it  was  not  until 
the  year  1885-86,  that  the  catalogue  shows 
any  attendance  and  then  an  enrollment  of 
but  five  students  in  the  school  of  practical 
agriculture  which  opened  May  i  and  closed 
November  i,  the  students  working  on  the 
farm  to  pay  their  expenses.  The  follow- 
ing year  this  course  showed  an  attendance 
of  fourteen  and  plans  were  matured  for  the 
organization  of  the  present  school  of  agri- 
culture. With  the  opening  of  the  year, 
1888-89.  this  school  was  fully  organized 
and  had  an  enrollment  of  47.

Agriculture,  The  School  of.  Minnesota's 
contribution  to  education  has  undoubtedly 
been  greatest  in  the  solving  of  the  prob-. 
lem  of  agricultural  education,  through  the 
establishment  of  the  school  of  agriculture, 
which  has  been  copied  all  over  the  world. 
As  far  back  as  1879  the  Minnesota  State 
Grange  began  agitating  for  the  establish- 
ment of  instruction  in  agriculture  suited 
to  the  needs  of  the  farmers.  A  committee 
was  appointed  to  wait  upon  the  board  of 
regents  and  to  urge  immediate  action.  The 
committee  which  met  the  board,  W.  S. 
Chowen,  A.  M.  Bull  and  J.  D.  Schofield, 
did  much  to  bring  about  a  correct  solution 
of  the  problem.  As  early  as  April  20th 
1874,  Dr.  Folwell  submitted  to  the  board 
of  regents  a  report,  outlining  a  course  of 
study  substantially  that  later  adopted  in 
the  establishment  of  the  school  of  agri- 
culture. The  substance  of  his  contention 
at  that  time  was,  that,  "agricultural  educa- 
tion ought  to  be  professional  education" 
and  he  proposed  to  model  such  a  school 
after  other  American  professional  schools, 
insisting  that  agriculture  could  be  so 
taught  successfully.  He  outlined  a  course 
in  practical  agriculture  to  be  offered  dur- 
ing the  months  when  the  sons  of  the  farm- 
ers would  be  free   to  pursue  such  courses. 

During  all  these  years  the  Grange  was 
pushing  for  the  establishment  of  a  school 
to  teach  practical  agriculture  and  Mr. 
Chowen.  in  particular,  was  indefatigible  in 
his  efforts  in  this  direction.  Professor  Ed- 
ward D.  Porter,  who  was  at  the  head  of 
of  the  agricultural  department  atthat  time 
was  also  active  in  trying  to  bring  about 
definite  results  along  practical  lines.  Mr. 
O.  C.  Gregg,  who  was  in  charge  of  the 
farmers'  institute  work  is  also  to  be  cred- 
ited with  helping  to  bring  about  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  really  successful  school  of 
agriculture.      The    work    of    the    institutes

THE  MINNESOTA 


had  been  successful  from  the  start,  dem- 
onstrating- the  correctness  of  the  conten- 
tion of  those  who  demanded  education  in 
practical  agriculture. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  board  of  regents, 
April  I,  iS8y,  on  motion  of  Governor  Pills- 
bury,  an  advisory  board  of  seven  members, 
made  up  of  practical  farmers,  was  created. 
The  function  of  this  board  was  to  be  to 
keep  in  touch  with  the  agricultural  depart- 
ment of  the  University  and  to  recommend 
to  the  regents  such  action  as  they  deemed 
advisable.  The  first  board  was  appointed 
at  the  meeting  of  the  regents  which  oc- 
curred on  April  7,  of  the  same  year,  and 
consisted  of  Messrs.  G.  W.  Sprague,  Can- 
ton; D.  D.  Burnes,  Welcome;  T.  J.  Smith, 
St.  Paul;  L.  H.  Stanton,  Morris;  Wyman 
Elliott,  Minneapolis;  S.  Harbaugh,  St. 
Paul;  D.  L.  Wellman,  Frazee  City.  At  the 
same  meeting  the  regents  voted  to  direct 
Professor  Porter  to  consult  with  this  board 
concerning  the  estalishment  of  an  indus- 
trial school  of  agriculture  and  to  submit 
plans  for  such  a  school  at  the  following 
meeting  of  the  board.  The  board  met 
again  on  the  13th  of  the  same  month,  and 
received  a  report  from  the  advisory  board, 
as  follows: 

Resolved:  That  the  board  of  regents  be 
advised  to  make  such  appropriation,  as 
may  be  necessary  to  provide  suitable  ac- 
commodations for  the  students  of  the 
school  of  agriculture  on  the  experimental 
farm. 

"Resolved;  That  the  proposition  to  es- 
tablish a  school  of  agriculture  on  the  ex- 
perimental farm  be  approved  and  endorsed 
by  this  advisory  committee  as  promising 
the  best  possible  solution  of  the  problem 
of  agricultural  education  in  Minnesota." 

This  report  was  approved  and  it  was 
voted,  at  the  same  meeting,  to  establish  a 
school  of  agriculture  in  conformity  with 
these  resolutions,  and  the  executive  com- 
mittee was  instructed  to  erect  a  building, 
at  a  cost  not  to  exceed  $10,000,  as  soon  as 
the  funds  should  be  available  for  the  same. 

Dr.  David  L.  Kiehle,  then  superintendent 
of  public  instruction,  had  given  the  prob- 
lem much  serious  study  and  careful  in- 
vestigation, visiting  many  manual  training 
schools  and  agricultural  colleges  in  his 
search  for  helpful  information  bearing  up- 
on the  question.  In  a  communication  in 
the  Farm  Stock  and  Home  of  February, 
1888,  he  outlined  a  course  of  study  sub- 
stantially similar  to  that  later  adopted  by 
the_  regents  in  establishing  a  school  of 
agriculture.  The  essential  features  being 
a  school  to  be  conducted  during  the  winter 
■months,  when  the  children  of  the  farmers 
would  have  leisure  to  attend;  to  take  those 
who  had  had  a  common  school  education, 
andgive  them  a  school  course  mainly  ob- 
jective, manual,  practical  and  scientific, 
which  should  fit  the  student  for  the  duties 
of  life  as  a  farmer.  The  school  opened 
October  18,  1888,  and  continued  until  April 
17,  1889,  the  attendance  being  47.  See  De- 
partment of  Agriculture.  For  a  number  of 
years    past    a    new    development    in    school 


work  has  obtained.  Students  attending 
the  school  do  practical  work  on  their 
home  farms,  carrying  out  in  practice  the 
theories  learned  at  the  school.  This  work 
is  gradually  being  more  closely  supervised 
and  wherever  possible,  the  work  is  under 
the  personal  direction  of  some  member  of 
the   stafif.

of  the  wife  of  the  donor,  Thomas  Shevlin, 
was  erected  in  1906,  the  cost  of  tlie  same,

building  is  114x55  feet  and  is  solely  for  the 
use  of  the  young  women  of  the  University. 
It  is  intended  thaf  this  building  shall  pro- 
vide the  young  women  students  of  the 
University,  a  place  where  they  can  pass 
pleasantly  and  profitably  the  hours  they 
must  spend  every  day  on  the  campus  and 
yet  not  in  class  room.  The  building  is 
two  stories  and  basement.  In  the  base- 
ment are  found  kitchen  and  lunch  rooms, 
toilet  and  cloak  rooms.  The  first  floor  has 
a  large   living  room,  with    fireplace,  which

mold  brick  with  terra  cotta  trimmings.  The 
interior  finish  varies  in  the  different  rooms 
but  is  all  very  rich  and  beautiful.  The  fur- 
nishings of  the  building  were  provided  by 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  and  the  Woman's  League 
and  their  friends. 

In  1910,  Mr.  Shevlin  gave  $20,000,  addi- 
tional for  the  construction  of  an  addition 
to  the  building  to  be  used  as  a  dining  hall. 
This  was  constructed  the  same  year  and

four  hundred  can  be  served  in  the  dining 
room  at  one  time.

arrangements  for  the  day  in  the  hands  of  a 
committee  from  the  five-year  classes,  the 
representative  of  the  class  celebrating  its 
loth  anniversary  to  be  chairman  of  this

Arena,  The.  Originally  this  society  was 
devoted  mainly  to  the  training  of  men  in 
debate.  In  1902  the  plan  was  changed  in 
recognition  of  the  fact  that  all  men  are  not 
born  debaters  or  with  a  desire  to  become 
debaters,  and  its  scope  was  broadened  so 
as  to  include  various  lines  of  literary  activ- 
ity, making  its  scope  cultural  rather  than 
technical. 

Ariel,  The.  This  was  the  first  student

H.  Lewis,  both  men  being  members  of  the 
first  board  of  editors.  See  Ariel.  April  28, 
1900.  It  was  started  as  a  monthly,  Decem- 
ber I,  1877,  and  was  so  continued  until 
1892,  when  it  became  a  weekly.  Its  publi- 
cation as  a  weekly  was  continued  until  the 
spring  of  1900,  the  last  number  being  pub- 
lished April  28.  It  was  succeeded  by  the 
Minnesota  Daily.  The  Ariel  was  usually  a 
16-page   and   cover  publication. 

Armory.  This  building  was  erected  in 
1896  at  a  cost  of  $75,000.  It  is  two  stories 
high  with  basement  and  is  built  of  white 
brick.  The  building  was  designed  by 
Charles  R.  Aldrich  and  embodies  some  of 
the  features  of  old  Norman  castles,  giving 
it  a  decidedly  military  aspect.  It  covers 
220x135    feet.      The    building   serves    as    an 


assembly  hall  for  large  University  gather- 
ings on  special  occasions  and  for  a  drill 
hall.  It  also  shelters  the  gymnasium  for 
both  men  and  women  and  provides  quar- 
ters for  athletic  teams.  It  is  provided 
with  a  main  hall  which  runs  through  the 
two  stories,  with  a  gallery,  which  will  seat 
4,000  persons;  and  two  wings,  one  of 
which  is  used  for  a  gymnasium  for  men 
and  the  other  for  women.  Offices  for  the 
officials  who  have  their  headquarters  in 
this  building  are  provided.  In  the  base- 
ment are  baths  and  toilet  rooms,  a  run- 
ning track,  swimming  pool,  and  in  the  sub- 
basement  a  shooting  gallery  for  target 
practice.

Athletic  Field,  suggested  plan  to  secure 
— The  Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly  of  Janu- 
uary  15th,  1912  contains  an  article  upon 
the  need  of  larger  fields  for  athletics  and 
suggested  plans  for  securing  the  same. 

Athletic  Field  Day.  Almost  from  the 
beginning  down  to  about  1897,  the  annual 
field  day  was  held  during  commencement 
week.  These  events  were  often  hotly 
contested  and  were  always  interesting, 
though  the  fact  that  there  was  no  one  to 
train  the  men  made  the  records  of  little 
consequence.

track,  gymnasium,  tennis  and  wrestling. 
The  requirement  for  the  granting  of  the 
"M"  varies  in  different  sports.  In  football, 
participation  in  two  conference  games  is 
required;  the  same  requirement  holds  for 
basket  ball;  in  baseball,  one  full  game  as  a 
member  of  the  battery  staff,  or  in  any 
other  position,  participation  in  one-fourth 
the  innings  in  conference  games.  In 
other  sports  it  depends  upon  the  winning 
of  a  first  olace  or  two  seconds.  '  Tennis 
requirement  winners  and  runners-up  are 
both  entitled  to  "M." 

Athletics,  Control  of.  The  athletics  of 
the  University  are  under  the  supervision 
of  a  board  of  control  made  up  of  seven 
student  members,  two  faculty  members 
and  two  alumni  members.  This  board  has 
general  supervision  of  all  matter  con- 
nected with  athletic  contests  and  the  ar- 
rangement of  the  schedules  of  games  and 
all  details  connected  with  the  same.  The 
final  authority,  however,  lodges  in  the  fa- 
culty committee  of  five  members,  created 
in  conformity  with  a  resolution  adopted 
by  the  board  of  regents,  May  3,  1906.  By 
virtue  of  the  authority  conferred  upon  this 
committee  by  the  said  resolutions,  the 
committee  has  charge  of  all  tickets  and 
other  sources  of  revenue.  An  auditing 
committee,  of  this  committee,  has  charge 
of  all  expenditures  and  no  bills  can  be 
paid  without  its  approval.  This  commit- 
tee also  is  vested  with  power  to  determine 
the  eligibility  of  all  candidates  for  partic- 
ipation in  athletic  contests.  The  commit- 
tee also  has  the  veto  power  over  all  pro- 
posed expenditures  by  the  athletic  board 
of  control,  and  of  Northrop  field  and  all 
grandstands  therein.  In  short,  this  com- 
mittee is  given  full  and  absolute  control 
of  athletics,  subject  to  the  revision  and 
ratification  of  the  University  Council.  See 
minutes  of  the  board  of  regents  meeting 
of  May  3,  1906.

Baseball.  Information  concerning  this 
sport  is  so  meagre  that  it  was  thought  best 
to  omit  all  records  before  that  of  the  sea- 
son of  1907.  Owing  to  the  lateness  of  the 
spring  and  the  consequent  difficulties  of 
securing  the  proper  training  of  teams, 
baseball  has  never  held  a  large  place  in 
student  activities.

Basketball.  Basketball  at  the  Univer- 
sity, really  began  with  the  students  of  the 
school  of  agriculture,  who  used  to  have  a 
winning  team  in  the  days  before  the  'Var- 
sity team  was  thought  of.  The  first  'Var- 
sity team  of  which  there  is  record  is  that 
of  1897-98.  The  score  cards  for  the  va- 
rious years  tell  the  tale  of  development 
in  this  line  of  sport.  In  1901-02  the  'Var- 
sity team  had  a  clear  title  to  the  college 
championship  of  the  United  States  and 
since  that  time  has  been  one  of  the  teams 
to  be  reckoned  with  in  figuring  out  the 
championship    of    the    country.

©Blair,  Mrs.  Margaret  Jo- 
sephine, was  born  at  Good- 
hue Center,  Minn.,  May  5, 
1863,  of  Scotch-Canadian 
parents — John  V.  H.,  and 
Isabella  Kennedy  Bailey, 
farmer-pioneers  of  Minneso- 
ta. The  Red  Wing  high 
school  supplemented  the 
rural  school,  and  later  she  studied  house- 
hold economics  at  the  Armour  Institute 
and  at  the  Jewish  Training  school  in  Chi- 
cago, subsequently  observing  the  work  on 
these  lines  in  many  leading  institutions 
with  a  view  to  a  constructive  knowledge. 
Of  Mrs.  Blair's  twenty-three  years'  experi- 
ence, eighteen  have  been  spent  as  director 
of  the  domestic  art  division  of  the  college 
of  agriculture  of  the  University.  Mrs. 
Blair  is  the  author  of  several  books  and 
many  published  articles  on  household  eco- 
nomics, domestic  art  and  related  subjects. 
In  1896  her  first  book,  "Garment  drafting," 
was  published,  and  in  1898  it  appeared 
with  revised  text  under  the  title  "Margaret 
Blair's  system  of  model  sewing  and  gar- 
ment drafting."  In  1900  appeared  two  sup- 
plementary volumes  entitled  "Model  sew- 
ing" and  "Garment  drafting."  "Sewing 
basket  stories,"  a  book  designed  for  little 
girls,  appeared  in  1907,  and  in  1909  ap- 
peared "A  new  and  practical  course  of 
graded  sewing  texts."  She  has  also  pub- 
lished, numerous  articles  in  magazines  and

Board  of  Control,  The.  The  act  of  1901, 
creating  the  state  board  of  control,  was 
not  primarily  designed  to  include  the  edu- 
cational institutions  of  the  State.  In  the 
fight  against  the  whole  proposition,  an 
amendment  was  proposed  to  the  bill,  mak- 
ing it  include  the  educational  institutions 
of  the  state  in  its  provisions.  Greatly 
to  the  surprise  of  those  who  were  oppos- 
ing the  bill,  and  who  hoped  thus  to  de- 
feat it,  the  bill  was  passed  and  became  a 
law.  The  bill,  as  it  was  passed,  was  be- 
lieved to  be  unconstitutional  by  all  friends 
of  the  University,  since  the  title  was  not 
amended  to  include  the  educational  insti- 
tutions. No  attempt  was  made  by  the 
board  of  control  to  assert  its  authority 
over  the  University.  The  regents,  for  two 
years,  continued  in  undisputed  control. 
The  normal  schools,  in  like  state  with  the 
University,  voluntarily  waived  their  tech- 
nical right  under  the  law  and  placed  them- 
selves under  the  supervision  of  the  board 
of  control.  In  a  short  time,  friction  arose 
over  the  administration  of  the  afifairs  of 
those  schools,  and  the  normal  board  at- 
tempted to  withdraw  from  the  position 
into  which  it  had  voluntarily  put  itself. 
The  case  was  taken  into  the  courts,  and 
a  ruling  was  secured  which  declared  the 
educational  institutions  of  the  state  "char- 
itable" in  their  nature  and  the  law  was 
held  to  be  constitutional.  Still  no  attempt 
was  made  to  bring  the  University  under 
the  supervision  of  the  board  of  control. 
The  legislature  met  and  an  attempt  was 
made  to  have  the  University  released  from 
such  control  by  a  special  act  specifically 
declaring  such  freedom  for  the  Univer- 
sity. A  combination  of  interests  which 
desired  to  use  the  University  to  secure 
their  own  release  from  board  of  control 
supervision,  managed  to  prevent  the  pass- 
age of  this  act.  When  the  legislature  of 
1903  adjourned  without  affording  the  de- 
sired relief,  the  board  of  regents,  made 
overtures  to  the  board  of  control  and  the 
board  assumed  the  partial  control  given 
it  under  the  law.  This  control  extended 
only  over  the  purchase  of  supplies,  the  pur- 
chase of  fuel  and  placing  of  insurance,  the 
erection  of  new  buildings.  This  dual  con- 
trol could  result  in  but  one  outcome,  unsat- 
isfactory conditions  all  around.  After  a 
two  years'  trial  conditions  were  such  as  to 
make  further  continuation  of  the  arrange- 
ment wholly  intolerable.  The  legislature 
of  1905,  by  a  practically  unanimous  vote, 
afforded  the  long-sought  relief  and  the  Uni- 
versity again  came  back  under  the  sole 
supervision  of  the  board  of  regents,  save 
in  the  matter  of  placing  insurance,  pur- 
chase of  fuel  and  the  erection  of  new  build- 
ings; in  all  these  matters  the  board  of 
control   still  has   control. 

For  further  information  on  this  matter

square  feet,  and  an  adjoining  work  room 
17x25    feet,    with    basement    of    same    size. 


The  various  houses  are  maintained  at  dif- 
ferent temperatures  to  meet  the  needs  of 
the  various  plants  cared  for.  The  Xero-

Bren  Affair,  The.  Early  in  June,  191 1, 
Mr.  Bren,  then  cashier  of  the  University, 
reported  that  he  had  been  held  up  and 
robbed,  of  something  over  $13,000.00  on  the 
University  campus.  Mr.  Bren  was  later 
accused  of  having  embezzled  this  amount 
and  was  arrested  and  indicted.  After  a 
year  and  a  half  had  passed  the  regents 
made  formal  demand  that  Mr.  Bren  forth- 
with return  all  funds  belonging  to  the 
University  for  which  he  was  responsible. 
The  attorneys  for  Mr.  Bren  then  paid  over 
to  the  University  the  exact  amount  which 
the   public   examiner   had   found   missing. 

Mr.  Bren  was  brought  to  trial  on  an  in- 
dictment charging  him  with  not  account- 
ing for  public  funds  in  his  charge,  and  was 
acquitted.  The  county  attorney  refused 
to  nolle  the  remaining  cases  and  asked  for 
more  time  to  prepare  the  same.  The 
court  held  that  the  state  had  had  sufficient 
time  to  prepare  its  cases  and  ordered  the 
indictments  dismissed  and  freed  Mr.  Bren. 
The  University  recovered  every  cent  that 
was  missing  and  suffered  no  loss.

ALUMNI  WEEKLY 


Buck,  Argyle,  was  born 
July  23rd,  1848,  at  Argyle, 
N.  Y.,  and  was  given  the 
name  of  the  town  by  his  par- 
ents. His  father  was  a 
Highland  Scotchman  and  his 
mother,  Delia  Ann  Lewis,  a 
X'ermont  Yankee.  Mr.  Buck 
enlisted  in  August,  1862,  and 
served  for  three  years  in  the  war  as  a 
member  of  the  iioth  N.  Y.  regiment;  three 
brothers  were  with  him  as  members  of 
Company  F  of  that  regiment.  After  he 
was  mustered  out  of  service,  Mr.  Buck 
went  to  Nebraska  and  spent  three  years 
hunting  and  trapping  beaver,  wolf  and 
otter  and  made  enough  mone}-  so  that  he 
was  able  to  return  home  and  pay  oflf  a 
$1,600  mortgage  on  his  father's  farm. 
Thirty  years  ago,  just  after  he  had  mar- 
ried Catharine  Howies,  Mr.  Buck  came  to 
Minneapolis  and  followed  his  trade  of 
painter  for  ten  years  and  then  came  to  the 
University  as  janitor  and  was  later  trans- 
ferred to  the  military  department  to  look 
after  the  stores  and  equipment  of  that  de- 
partment in  which  he  was  a  fixture  for 
his  quaint  philosophy  of  life  is  refreshing 
because  of  its  originality  and  its  optimism. 
He  has  had  rather  more  than  his  share  of 
the  troubles  of  this  world  but  he  is  still 
cheerful  and  his  ready  wit  enlivens  his  talk 
upon  any  topic  in  which  he  is  engaged. 
His  own  estimate  of  his  life  is — "I  ain't 
done  nothin'  to  brag  about,  but  I've  tried 
to  give  everybody  a  square  deal."  "Buck"' 
is  a  great  favorite  with  the  boys  and  they 
feel  for  him  a  genuine  regard  entirely  apart 
from  their  interest  in  him  as  an  unusually 
interesting  character.

Campus.  The  University  campus  in- 
cludes 108.5  acres  of  land  within  the  city 
limits  of  Minneapolis.  The  first  purchase 
of  land  for  the  present  site  was  made  by 
the  University,  October  21st,  1854,  twenty- 
five  and  one-third  acres  being  purchased 
at  that  time  of  'Paul  R.  George  and  Joshua 
Taylor.  A  mistake  was  made  in  making 
out  this  deed  and  to  correct  the  same  a 
new  quit-claim  deed  was  made  by  Calvin 
Tuttle,  who  quit-claimed  the  land  intended 
to  be  conveyed  in  the  previous  deed,  on 
July  2ist,  1856.  The  quit-claim  deed  cov- 
ered twenty-seven  and  eight-one-hundred- 
ths  acres.  This  piece  of  land  was  bounded 
on  the  south  by  the  section  line  running 
eighty-nine  rods  from  the  east  bank  of  the 
Mississippi  river,  thence  39  3-4  degrees 
west  to  a  point  approximately  at  the  corner 
of  the  present  intersection  of  14th  and 
University  avenues  southeast,  thence  back 
to  the  river  on  a  line  conforming  very 
closely  with  the  present  railroad  tracks. 
The  consideration  paid  by  the  regents  was 
$6,000,  $1,000  in  cash  advanced  by  friends 
and  $5, 000  in  notes  secured  by  mortgage, 
bearing  12  per  cent  interest.  So  rapidly 
did  the  land  increase  in  value,  that  the 
legislature,  which  met  the  same  year  of  the 
purchase,  authorized  the  regents  to  borrow 
$15,000  secured  on  the  land  purchased  for 
$6,000. 

No  additions  were  made  to  the  campus 
until  the  legislature  of  1877  appropriated 
$18,000  to  enlarge  the  campus.  At  that 
time,  Thatcher's  addition  was  purchased 
and  a  part  of  the  land  which  now  lies  north 
of  the  Great  Northern  tracks.  Two  years 
later  the  legislature  made  another  appro- 
priation for  increasing  the  campus,  $20,000 
being  given  for  the  purpose,  and  following 
year,  1880,  $20,000  more  was  appropriated 
for  the   same  purpose. 

The  sale  of  a  right  of  way  through  the 
campus  added  $28,000  to  the  amount  avail- 
able for  the  purchase  of  additional  land. 

With  this  money  the  purchase  of  the 
land  to  the  north  of  the  Great  Northern 
tracks,  (save  a  little  strip,  on  Eleventh 
avenue,  26  1-2  by  181  feet,  which  was  af- 
terward contributed  by  Mr.  S.  H.  Chute), 
and  four  and  one-half  blocks  bordering  the

Plan  for  Campus  Development 


south  side  of  the  campus,  extending  to 
Arlington  street.  In  1903,  the  legislature 
appropriated  $11,000  for  the  purchase  of 
more  land  and  for  grading  the  campus. 
With  this  money  was  purchased  four  lots 
in  block  3,  part  of  the  land  now  enclosed 
in  Northrop  Field.  Governor  Pillsbury, 
before  his  last  illness,  had  begun  the  pur- 
chase of  the  lots  in  this  block  and  his  heirs 
gave  six  lots  in  this  block  to  carry  out 
what  they  knew  to  be  his  wishes.  The  city 
council  voted  to  vacate  Arlington  street 
from  the  river  to  Harvard  street  and  to 
vacate  Union  street  from  Arlington  to 
University  avenue  for  the  benefit  of  the 
University.

The  legislature  of  1907  appropriated 
$450,000  and  the  legislature  of  1909  supple- 
mented this  with  an  additional  appropria- 
tion of  $350,000  for  the  purchase  of  addi- 
tional land  for  the  campus.  The  alumni  of 
the  college  of  medicine  and  surgery  as- 
sisted by  the  faculty  of  that  college,  raised 


$40,000  by  private  sul:)Scription  to  pur- 
chase a  site  for  the  Elliot  Memorial  hos- 
pital. With  this  money  there  has  been 
purchased  all  of  the  land  to  the  south 
of  the  old  campus,  extending  east  to  Union 
street.  The  Park  Board  owns  a  wide 
boulevard  along  the  river  which  for  prac- 
tical purposes  forms  a  part  of  the  campus. 
With  the  purchase  of  this  additional  land 
and  the  vacating  of  certain  streets  by  ac- 
tion of  the  city  council,  nearly  fifty  acres 
were  added  to  the  campus. 

Campus  Club.  This  club  was  organized 
and  incorporated  in  the  early  spring  of 
191 1.  Any  male  member  of  the  instruc- 
tional staff  of  the  University  is  eligible  to 
membership  and  others  "interested  in  the 
welfare  of  the  University"  may  be  admit- 
ted. The  club  was  given  the  use  of  a 
house  at  112  Church  street  southeast.  This 
house  was  remodeled  and  furnished  for  the 
use  of  the  club  and  has  been  the  home  of 
the  club  since  September,  191 1.  The  house 
contains  parlors,  dining  room,  kitchen  and 
a  few  sleeping  rooms.  Meals  are  served 
during  the  college  year.  The  club  has  re- 
cently been  given  the  use  of  two  houses 
which  are  to  be  moved  to  a  point  between 
Pleasant  street  and  the  river  and  just 
south  of  the  railroad,  N.  P.  tracks  and 
remodeled  for  the  use  of  the   club.

Caribou  Group.  The  finest  group  ap- 
pearing in  the  University  museum  is  that 
of  Newfoundland  caribou  presented  to  the 
University  by  James  Ford  Bell,  '01,  in  the 
spring  of  1910.  Mr.  Bell  employed  expert 
assistants  in  securing  this  group,  which 
represents  the  Newfoundland  caribou  as 
they  appear  in  their  native  haunts.  The 
background  was  painted  by  John  A.  Cor- 
win  of  Chicago.  Mr.  Brandler,  the  taxider- 
mist, who  had  charge  of  the  work  accom- 
panied Mr.  Bell  on  his  trip  when  the  speci-

Gentral     Debating     League,     The.       Was 

composed  of  the  debating  associations  of 
the  University  of  Michigan,  the  University 
of  Minnesota,  Northwestern  University, 
and  the  University  of  Chicago.  Its  pur- 
pose was  to  discuss  in  public  leading  ques- 
tions of  the  day  and  to  develop  ready  and 
forceful  speakers.  The  four  universities 
were  arranged  in  two  groups  for  the  semi- 
final debates,  which  were  held  the  second 
Tuesday  in  January.  On  the  first  Friday 
in  April  in  each  year,  the  winners  from 
the  groups  met  in  a  final  debate  in  the 
city  of  Chicago.  Minnesota  withdrew  from 
this  league  in  1906  and  proceeded  at  once 
to  organize  the  new  Central  debating  cir- 
cuit of  America. 

Gentral  Heating  Plant.  The  total  cost 
of  the  entire  plant,  including  all  tunnels, 
shafts,  building,  smoke  stack  and  equip- 
ment was  $255,000,  of  which  amount  ap- 
proximately $45,000  was  expended  on  deep 
tunnels  and  shafts.  The  length  of  main 
tunnel  is  3500  feet;  length  of  chemistry 
branch  tunnel  1,000  feet;  size  of  deep  tun- 
nels 6'-6"  wide  by  7'-6"  high.  Sub-sur- 
face tunnels  vary  from  5  feet  wide  by 
6' -6"  high  to  6'-6"  square.  The  sub-surface 
tunnels  are  built  of  concrete  reinforced 
with  steel. 

The  deep  tunnels  are  approximately  100 
feet  below  surface  of  campus  and  are  ex- 
cavated in  the  sand  rock  of  the  St.  Peter 
formation.  There  are  seven  shafts  approx- 
imately 4  feet  in  diameter,  extending  from 
the  surface  of  the  campus  to  the  deep  tun- 
nel 100  feet  below;  the  shafts  are  located 
about  the  center  of  certain  groups  of  build- 
ings which  they  serve. 

The  mechanical  equipment  consists  of 
six  350  H.  P.  water  tube  boilers  arranged 
in  three  batteries  of  700  II.  P.  each.  The 
boilers  have  been  designed  to  carry  175 
pounds  working  pressure  which  will  make 
them  available  for  power  purposes  in  the 
future,  if  this  be  desired.  For  the  present, 
the  pressure  carried  is  only  85  pounds  and 
the  steam  at  this  pressure  is  carried  thru 
mains  to  the  various  shafts  and  to  the  sev- 
eral buildings   on  the  campus.     The  press- 


ure is  reduced  at  the  buildings  to  one  or 
more  pounds,  as  required  to  circulate  the 
steam  in  the  respective  buildings.  The 
largest  pipe  used  in  the  system  is  14"  in 
diameter.  A  system  of  return  mains  is 
employed  by  which  all  of  the  water  of 
condensation  is  returned  to  a  7,000  H.  P. 
feed  water  heater,  placed  in  the  power 
plant.  The  returns  are  pumped  from  the 
feed  water  heater  to  the  boilers  and  a  lit- 
tle make-up  water  is  used  to  compensate 
for  leakage. 

A  recording  measuring  tank  capable  of 
measuring  300,000  pounds  of  water  in  24 
hours  is  also  installed  in  the  heating  plant, 
and  all  of  the  water  is  measured  on  its 
wav  to  the  boilers. 

The  coal  is  delivered  on  a  side  track 
built  by  the  University  and  the  cars  are 
emptied  into  a  coal  hopper  whence  the 
coal  passes  thru  a  crusher  and  is  delivered 
on  to  a  rubber  belt  which  carries  the  coal 
into  the  boiler  house  and  delivers  same  to 
the  coal  bunkers  located  above  the  boil- 
ers. The  bunkers  have  a  total  capacity  of 
800  tons.  The  coal  is  fed  from  the  bunk- 
ers into  an  automatic  weighing  coal  hop- 
per which  permits  the  amount  of  coal  fed 
to  each  boiler  to  be  determined  accurately. 

The  boilers  are  all  furnished  with  auto- 
matic chain  grate  stokers,  which  can  be 
regulated    as    the    demands    require. 

An  additional  coal  storage  space  is  pro- 
vided outside  of  the  boiler  house  which  has 
a  capacity  at  the  present  time  of  2500  tons. 
Still  additional  storage  space  is  provided 
on  the  level  above  the  power  plant  which 
v\  ill   take    care   of  8,000   tons    more. 

A  reinforced  concrete  stack  serves  all 
of  the  boilers  and  is  designed  for  a  total 
capacity  of  4,500  H.  P.  The  stack  is  iij^ 
feet  inside  diameter  at  top  and  has  a  total 
height  of  234  feet.  The  plans  contem- 
plate an  additional  stack  of  the  same  di- 
mensions to  be  built  when  the  demands 
shall  require  it;  it  is  also  intended  to  in- 
stall ten  additional  boilers  of  the  same  size 
as  those  now  in  place.  Thus  the  com- 
pleted plant  will  have  a  nominal  capacity 
of  5,600  H.  P.  and  an  overload  capacity 
of  about  9,000  H.  P. 

There  are  a  number  of  features  which 
will  be  added  to  the  heating  plant  when 
funds  become  available,  so  that  when  the 
equipment  is  all  installed  it  is  expected  that 
the  University  heating  plant  will  be  the 
best  of  its  kind  in  the  Northwest. 

The  deep  tunnels  and  shafts  were  de- 
signed and  constructed  under  the  supervi- 
sion of  Dean  Shenehon,  of  the  college  of 
engineering;  the  rest  of  the  work  was  done 
under  the  direction  of  Professor  Flather 
of  the  mechanical  engineering  department.

Strachauer,  the  'cello.  The  concerts  were 
arranged  b}-  Professor  Harlow  Gale,  who, 
on  each  Friday  afternoon,  preceding  the 
concerts,  gave  a  lecture  on  the  psychology 
of  music.  The  lectures  were  partly  his- 
torical and  biographical,  and,  in  addition,  a 
demonstration  of  the  anatomy  and  physiol- 
ogy of  hearing,  an  outline  of  the  psychol- 
ogy of  music  and  some  experimental  and 
statistical  work  in  rhj^thm,  melody,  and 
harmony. 

Chancellor.  This  office  was  provided  for 
under  the  organization  of  1851  to  March 
4,  1864.  Rev.  Edward  D.  Neill,  the  only 
person  holding  this  office,  was  appointed  in 
the   fall  of   1858  and  resigned  July,  1861. 

Chapel  Exercises.  From  its  very  be- 
ginning down  to  igii,  the  University  au- 
thorities conducted  daily  religious  services. 
In  the  early  da3-s  attendance  was  required, 
but  since  about  1885  attendance  has  been 
voluntarj-.  The  exercises  have  always  con- 
sisted of  a  short  scriptural  selection  and 
prayer.  University  notices  are  given  at 
these  exercises  and  frequently  prominent 
men  and  women  talk  to  the  assembled  stu- 
dents. Naturally  the  attendance  is  largely 
from  the  so-called  academic  department  of 
the  University,  but  on  special  occasions 
students  from  all  departments  fill  the 
chapel  to  overflowing.  Since  191 1  chapel 
exercises  have  been  held  every  other  day 
— Mondays,  Wednesdays  and  Fridays,  with 
some  special  feature  for  each  da3\  These 
special  features  include  addresses,  musical 
programs,  mass  meetings,  etc.

Chemical  Laboratory  Building.  This 
building  was  erected  in  1890,  for  the  use 
of  the  department  of  chemistry  and  phys- 
ics, and  was  remodelled  in  1902,  when  the 
department  of  physics  vacated  the  build- 
ing. The  first  cost  of  the  building  was 
$81,500;  the  cost  of  remodelling  was  $8,000, 
making  the  total  cost  practically  $90,000. 
The  building  has  a  frontage  of  190  feet  and 


provides  for  the  department  of  chemistry,' 
with  its  various  laboratories,  lecture  rooms, 
amphitheatre  seating  345  students,  offices, 
seminar  room  and  class  rooms,  storage 
and  preparation  rooms,  dark  rooms,  etc. 
It  is  constructed  of  a  romanesque  brick  of 
light  reddish  yellow  tint  with  iron  spots. 
L.  S.  Buffington  was  the  architect.  The 
legislature  of  1913  appropriated  $17,500  to 
remodel  this  building  for  the  use  of  the 
Minnesota  Union. 

Chernistry  Museum.  A  cabinet  of  speci- 
mens illustrating  the  products  and  pro- 
cesses of  Applied  Chemistry  is  being  col- 
lected by  the  Professors  of  Chemistry,  as 
opportunity  offers.  The  collection  em- 
braces fuel,  ores,  furnace  products,  textile 
materials,  both  raw  and  manufactured,  dye- 
woods  and  other  materials  used  in  dyeing; 
specimens  illustrating  the  bleaching  and 
printing  of  cotton,  linen,  and  woolen  goods, 
earthenware,  pottery,  etc. 

Chemistry,  The  School  of.  This  school 
did  not  exist,  as  an  independent  organiza- 
tion until  1903.  Prior  to  that  time  it  ex- 
isted as  an  attachment  to  some  other  col- 
lege. Provision  was  originally  made  for 
instruction  in  a  complete  course,  in  1891, 
when  the  college  of  engineering  was  re- 
organized and  made  the  college  of  engi- 
neering, metallurgy  and  the  mechanic  arts. 
In  the  course  of  study,  as  then  established, 
there  was  a  full  four-year  course  in  chem- 
istry but  it  was  not  until  the  following 
year  that  the  first  student  elected  this 
course.  When  the  re-organization  of  1896 
took  place,  the  school  of  chemistry  was  es- 
tablished as  the  school  of  technical  and 
applied  chemistry  and  was  made  a  sub- 
sidiary organization  in  the  college  of 
science,  literature  and  the  arts.  It  existed 
in  this  way  until  1903  when  it  was  made 
a  separate  organization,  with  its  own  fac- 
ulty and  dean  and  independent  in  the  gov- 
ernment of  its  internal  affairs.     George  B.

Chi  Psi.  The  oldest  fraternity  at  the 
University.  Alpha  Nu  chapter  established 
1874.  Lodge  located  at  1515  University 
avenue  southeast.  National  fraternity  es- 
tablished in  1841,  at  Union  College. 

Chi  Rho  Theta  fraternity  was  organized 
December  5,  1905,  as  the  Bishop  Gilbert 
Society.  It  has  a  membership  of  thirty. 
Its  purposes  are  religious,  scholastic  and 
social.  Its  field  of  activity  is  among  the 
Episcopal  men  of  the  University.  It  en- 
deavors to  develop  them  spiritually,  schol- 
astically  and  incidentally  provides  a  few 
social  affairs  for  them.  The  society  was 
reorganized  May  28,  1912,  as  the  Bishop 
Gilbert  Chapter  of  Chi  Rho  Theta  frater- 
nity. It  purposes  to  establish  a  national 
organization  in  the  various  universities  and 
colleges  of  the  country. 

Choral  Union,  A  musical  organization 
which  was  founded  in  1893  by  Fraulein 
Schoen-Rene.  The  first  concert  was  given 
May  I,  1894,  at  the  Coliseum  and  May  2, 
at  the  People's  Church,  St.  Paul.  At  these 
concerts,  Nordica,  Hegner  and  Wetzler,

supervision  and  responsibility  of  Dr.  Louis 
J.  Cooke,  director  of  the  gj'mnasium  and 
were  staged  in  the  University  Armory. 
They  were  all  very  successful,  from  the 
point  of  view  of  arousing  interest  and  fur- 
nishing a  satisfactory  spectacle;  finan- 
cially they  broke  about  even.  The  Minne- 
sota Daily  of  those  years  will  give  full  in- 
formation as  to  details.

Coliseum.  This  building  was  erected  in 
1884,  at  a  cost  of  $35,000.  It  was  officially 
known  as  The  Military  Building,  but  was 
popularly  known  as  the  Coliseum.  It  was 
so  constructed  as  to  serve  the  purpose  of 
a    drill    hall    and    auditorium,    and    would 


seat  comfortably  three  thousand  five  hun- 
dred people.  It  was  entirely  of  wood  con- 
struction and  was  burned  July  24,  1894. 
The  cut  which  appears  elsewhere  gives  a 
better  idea  of  the  building  than  any  verb- 
al description  can  give.  Mr.  BufTington 
was    the    architect. 

College  Woman's  Club  Scholarship.  The 
College  Woman's  Club  of  Minneapolis  es-

$150.  In  awarding  it  preference  is  given

Commencement  Addresses  and  Speakers. 
The  first  commencement  speaker  was  the 
Honorable  A.  S.  Welch,  LL.  D.,  president 
of  Iowa  State  Agricultural  College,  who 
spoke  upon  "Higher  education  in  its  tran- 
sition state."  This  address  was  in  addi- 
tion to  orations  by  each  of  the  two  mem- 
bers of  the  class.  When  the  custom  of 
having  members  of  the  graduating  class 
deliver  orations  on  commencement  day 
was  discontinued  in  1899,  President  Nor- 
throp delivered  the  address  and  has  since

Conditions  at  the  University.  W.  F.  Web- 
ster, 1886,  principal  of  the  east  high  school 
of  Minneapolis  read  a  paper  before  the  Six 
O'clock  Club  of  the  city  in  the  early  spring 
of  1906.  This  paper  was  repeated,  by  spec- 
ial request,  in  the  University  chapel,  later 
in  the  spring.  It  was  reprinted  in  the  Min- 
nesota Alumni  Weekly  of  May  21  of  that 
year.  This  address  was  one  of  the  fac- 
tors responsible  for  the  strenuous  cam- 
paign for  an  increase  of  salaries  of  Uni- 
versity professors,  which  was  made  by  the 
alumni   in    1907. 

Congressional  Land  Grants.  In  his  sec- 
ond message  to  the  legislature,  in  1851, 
Governor  Ramsey  recommended  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  University  and  added — "As 
an  endowment  of  a  University  will  also 
naturally,  in  this  connection,  attract  your 
attention,  it  might  be  proper  to  further 
memorialize  Congress  for  a  grant  of  100, 
000  acres  of  land,  applicable  and  available 
at  a  future  day,  for  this  most  desirable  ob- 
ject. The  propriety  of  urging,  at  this  time, 
the  request,  arises  from  the  importance  of 
making  early  selection,  with  a  view  to  se- 
curing a  fair  proportion  of  choice  lands." 
This  memorial  was  passed  on  the  loth  of 
February  and  Congress  passed  an  act  upon 
the  19th  of  the  same  month,  reserving  two 
townships  for  this  purpose.  The  title  to 
this  land  did  not  vest  in  the  state  until  the 
act  of  March  2,  1861,  donated  what  had 
previously  been  reserved  for  this  purpose. 
The  University  received  from  this  grant, 
45,257. -^9  acres  of  land.  Of  this  amount 
15.410.85  acres  were  sold  by  the  regents, 
under  authority  of  the  acts  of  1862,  1864 
and  1866,  to  pay  the  debts  of  the  terri- 
torial institution.  So  this  grant  netted  the 
University  29,796.54  acres.  The  second 
grant,  by  act  of  Congress  approved  July 
2d,    1862,   gave    the    state    120,000  acres    for 


the  endowment  and  support  of  an  agricul- 
tural college,  including  instruction  in  me- 
chanic arts  and  military  science. 

An  act  of  the  Legislature  of  Minnesota, 
passed  March  10,  1858,  set  aside  lands  in 
McLeod  county  for  a  site  for  an  agricul- 
tural college  and  for  an  experimental 
farm.  This  institution  was  to  be  under  the 
control  of  the  president  and  executive 
committee  of  the  state  agricultural  society. 
In  1861  the  state  donated  to  this  college 
all  the  swamp  lands  of  McLeod  county. 
Nothing  was  ever  done  toward  organizing 
a  college  at  this  place.  The  congressional 
grant  of  1863  was  accepted  and  the  lands 
located  and,  because  the  affairs  of  the  Uni- 
versity were  in  such  unsettled  condition, 
these  lands  were  inade  over  to  the  agri- 
cultural college  at  Glencoe,  in  1866.  The 
following  year,  the  special  board  of  three 
made  a  report  showing  a  wiping  out  of  the 
debt  of  the  University  and  32,000  acres  of 
the  territorial  grant  still  •  tmtouched. 
Through  the  good  offices  of  Regent  Pills- 
bury,  then  senator,  the  two  grants  were 
consolidated  and  given  to  the  University. 
It  was  provided  that  the  swamp  lands 
granted  to  the  McLeod  institution,  which 
amounted  to  4,684  acres,  should  remain  in 
the  possession  of  that  institution  as  an 
endowment    of    Stevens    Seminary. 

By  virtue  of  the  act  of  February  i8th, 
1868,  the  act  reorganizing  the  University 
and  under  which,  with  some  amendments 
the  University  now  exists,  these  lands  were 
made  over  to  the  University. 

These  lands  were  chosen  and  certified  to 
the  University  as  follows:  68,928.08  acres 
at  the  minimum  or  single  value,  mentioned 
in  the  act,  and  25,51 1.20,  at  double  the 
minimum  value,  counting  as  51,022.40  acres, 
makinpr  the  total  119,950.48  acres,  under  the 
terms  of  the  grants.  The  actual  number  of 
acres    received  being  94,439.28. 

The  third  grant,  ibeing  really  the  second 
grant  in  point  of  time  of  the  act  of  Con- 
gress making  the  same,  was  that  provided 
for  in  the  enabling  act  authorizing  the 
people  of  the  territory  to  set  up  a  state 
government,  passed  February  26th,  1857, 
which  granted  two  townships  for  the  en- 
dowment of  a  state  university. 

So  far  as  appears  no  effort  was  made 
to  secure  for  the  University  the  land  it 
was  entitled  to  under  this  act,  until  the 
Reverend  E.  D.  Neill,  who  was  at  that  time 
chancellor  of  the  University,  brought  the 
matter  to  the  attention  of  Governor  Ram- 
sey and  in  a  communication  dated  April 
5th,  i860,  set  forth  his  views  concerning 
the  right  of  the  University  to  "/^  sections 
of  land  under  the  Enabling  Act.  Governor 
Ramsey  took  up  this  matter  before  the 
commissioners  of  the  general  land  office 
who  ruled  against  the  University.  Here 
the  matter  rested  until  the  special  board 
of  three  regents  was  created  by  the  act 
of  1864.  This  board  immediately  took  ac- 
tion to  secure  the  rights  of  the  University 
under  this  act  and  at  their  request  Gov- 
ernor Miller  filed  notice  of  the  selection  of

a  portion  of  said  grant  in  the  propcr_  office 
in  Taylor's  Falls  in  February,  1864,  in  or- 
der to  test  the  validity  of  the  claim  of  the 
University  to   these  -ji  sections  of  land. 

The  commissioner  of  the  general  land  of- 
fice rendered  an  adverse  decision.  The 
regents  appealed  from  the  decision  of  the 
commissioner  to  the  secretary  of  the  in- 
terior and  Governor  Marshall  volunteered 
to  bring  the  claim  of  the  University  before 
the  secretary  and  made  a  visit  to  Wash- 
ington for  the  purpose.  No  decision  was 
reached  at  that  time  and  it  was  recom- 
mended that  the  regents  employ  an  attor- 
ney to  prosecute  the  claim  of  the  Univer- 
sity before  the  department.  Under  au- 
thority of  an  act  passed  February  i8th, 
1867.  the  regents  employed  Mr.  H.  B.  Beard 
to  conduct  the  case  on  a  contingent  fee  of 
three  sections  (1914  acres)  of  land  to  be  se- 
lected by  him.  The  secretary  was  finally 
persuaded  that  the  claim  of  the  University 
was  just  but  did  not  feel  warranted  in  re- 
versing the  decision  of  the  former  officer 
of  the  department  and  recommended  a  bill 
be  introduced  into  congress  allowing  the 
University  the  "^2  sections  of  land.  Through 
the  influence  of  Mr.  Beard  and  the  Hon. 
Eugene  ]M.  Wilson,  representative  in  con- 
gress, and  Hon.  Alexander  Ramsey,  in  the 
senate,  this  bill  finally  became  a  law  July 
8th.  1870,  and  these  lands  were  made  avail- 
able for  the  endowment  of  the  University. 

A  question  was  raised  as  to  the  right  of 
the  regents  to  employ  the  methods  they 
did  to  secure  this  grant  of  land  from  the 
government,  especially  involving  the  agree- 
ment with  Mr.  Beard.  This  matter  was 
held  open  for  six  years  and  was  finally 
settled  by  an  act  of  the  legislature  Feb- 
ruary 17th,  1876,  "legalizing  a  deed  made 
by  the  University  of  Minnesota  to  Henry 
B.  Beard  as  compensation  for  his  services 
as  counsel  in  prosecuting  the  claim  of  the 
state  for  'j2  sections  of  land  for  a  state 
University." 

Afterward,  there  was  another  ruling  of 
the  interior  department,  in  which  it  was 
held  that  since  9,764.60  acres  of  the  terri- 
torial grant  had  not  been  selected  and 
certified,  until  after  the  admission  of  the 
state  into  the  Union,  this  amount  should 
be  charged  against  the  second  grant,  re- 
ducing the  number  of  acres  available  under 
that  grant,  to  37,079.24.  This  ruling  was 
later  overruled,  and  the  University  finally 
received    46,317.6   acres. 

Owing  probably  to  the  fact  that  the  rec- 
ords of  the  early  days  were  not  kept  with 
sufficient  exactness,  many  pieces  of  land 
chosen  by  the  regents  were  afterwards  en- 
tered by  settlers  and  the  settlers  were  given 
the  preference  in  the  matter  and  the  re- 
gents were  afterwards  allowed  to  select 
other  lands  to  replace  those  lost  in  this 
way.  Many  thousands  of  acres  of  land 
had   to   be   thus   duplicated.

It  is  claimed  by  the  University  that 
there  are  still  635.01  acres  due  the  institu- 
tion, under  these  grants,  which  have  not 
been    located. 

December  22nd.  1868,  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents reported  1,690  (1,689.69)  acres  unsold 
and  all  debts  paid  but  the  claim,  mortgage, 
of  Paul  R.  George,  principal  being  $3,000 
and  interest  long  past  due,  on  account  of 
purchase    of   the    original    campus. 

The  Board  of  Regents  provided  for  by 
the  act  of  reorganization  of  1868,  placed 
the  settlement  of  the  claim  of  Paul  R. 
George  in  the  hands  of  Governor  Pillsbury. 
He  had  available  to  sell  to  pay  this  claim, 
1,529.69  acres  of  land. 

In  1872  Governor  Pillsbury  acting  for  the 
regents,  succeeded  in  making  an  arrange- 
ment with  the  estate  of  Paul  R.  George  to 
satisfy  the  mortgage  held  bj'  the  estate  up- 
on the  original  site  of  the  University. 

The  original  mortgage  made  October  23, 
1854  was  for  three  thousand  dollars  in  the 
form  of  three  notes  secured  by  a  mort- 
gage, each  note  for  one  thousand  dollars, 
one  due  in  six  months,  one  in  twelve  and 
one  in  eighteen  months.  The  mortgage 
was  finally  satisfied  May  3rd.  1872  and  the 
satisfaction  acknowledged  the  receipt  of 
$5,627.02.  The  regents'  record  shows  that 
Governor  Pillsbury  was  authorized  to  set- 
tle this  claim  with  the  funds  in  his  hands 
as  chairman  of  the  executive  committee. 
At  that  time  there  were  $528.42  (In  this 
is  included  the  proceeds  of  a  later  sale  of 
160  acres  of  land.)  in  the  fund  from  the 
sale  of  lands  authorized  to  be  sold  to  pay 
the  original  indebtedness  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  records  do  not  show,  so  far 
as  we  have  been  able  to  determine,  where 
the  money  came  from  with  which  Governor 
Pillsbury  paid  the  estate  of  Paul  R.  George 
to  get  the  satisfaction  of  the  mortgage. 
The  $528  was  carried  along  in  the  Univer- 
sity accounts  until  1886  when  it  was  finally 
turned  in  to  the  agricultural  account  in 
order  to  close  the  account  and  the  legis- 
lature of  1883  passed  a  law  authorizing  the 
regents  to  take  out  of  the  money  to  be 
raised  from  the  sale  of  the  old  University 
farm  not  to  exceed  $2,000  to  settle  the 
balance  due  on  the  Paul  R.  George  ac- 
count. The  records  show  that  $1,773.83 
were  paid  in  1883  to  close  this  account. 

The  latest  report  of  the  State  Auditor 
shows  that  the  agricultural  land  grant  has 
all  been  sold,  netting  the  permanent  en- 
dowment fund  $570,747.50.  The  other 
grants  have  netted  this  fund  $994,139.44,  or 
together  a  total  of  $1,564,886.94.

Country  Fair.  Was  held  on  the  Campus 
of  the  department  of  agriculture  May  18th, 
1912.  The  affair  was  planned  and  carried 
out  by  members  of  that  department  and 
presented  in  form  of  a  country  fair  the  life 
and  activities  of  the  department  of  agri- 
culture. The  attendance  was  something 
like  three  thousand  and  the  whole  aflfair 
from  beginning  to  end  was  an  unqualified 
success.  For  fuller  statement  concerning 
this  see  the  Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly  of

County  Agricultural  Work.  The  county 
agricultural  work  in  Minnesota  was  started 
in  November  1912.  The  state  and  federal 
governments  and  the  Council  of  Grain  Ex- 
changes co-operate  in  this  work.  The  plan 
is  to  have  a  practical  agriculturist  located 
in  each  county  in  the  State  to  assist  in 
general  work  in  farm  management  and  the 
supervision  of  all  lines  pertaining  to  agri- 
culture in  the  county.  The  work  is  under 
the  direction  of  the  University.  The  coun- 
ty agricultural  agent  assists  the  Farmers' 
clubs  in  securing  pure  seed  grains,  good 
live  stock  and  encourages  the  growing  of 
clover  and  alfalfa  where  practicable.  As- 
sists in  planning  farmsteads  and  buildings, 
orchards,  windbreaks,  crop  rotations,  buy- 
ing and  selling  associations  and  in  a  gen- 
eral way  makes  himself  useful  to  the  farm- 
ers in  the  various  ways  in  which  such  an 
expert   can  be   useful. 

County    Fair    Extension    Work.      In    the 

fall  of  191 1  demonstration  tents  were  sent 
to  fifteen  county  fairs  by  the  agricultural 
department.  These  fairs  are  becoming 
more  and  more  an  educational  influence  in 
the  state.  The  judging  of  exhibits  is  an- 
other form  of  service  which  the  extension 
department  is  increasingly  called  upon  to 
provide.

Crack  Drill  Squad  was  established  in 
October  1905,  by  Captain  Sprague,  former- 
ly a  member  of  the  fancy  drill  squad  at 
Shattuck.  Its  membership  includes  a  cap- 
tain, sixteen  men  and  one  or  more  substi- 
tutes, all  active  members  of  the  cadet 
corps.  Its  purpose  it  to  promote  a  military 
spirit  in  the  cadet  corps  and  the  presenta- 
tion from  time  to  time  of  an  exhibition 
drill,  showing  the  results  of  faithful  prac- 
tice, concentrated  attention  and  united  ac- 
tion. The  squad  gives  two  informal  dances 
each  year.  It  gives  exhibition  drills  at 
the  Military  ball,  on  government  inspection 
day.  and  on  other  occasions  when  called 
for.  The  squad  of  1912-13  filled  a  week's 
engagement  at  the  Minnesota  State  Fair. 
Membership  in  the  squad  is  highly  prized, 
not  only  on  account  of  the  military  train- 
ing it  affords,  but  also  for  the  good  fellow- 
ship that  exists  between  the  members  of 
the  squad  and  alumni  members.  An  annual 
picnic  for  active  and  alumni  members  is 
held  near  the  close  of  each  college  year.

Cuzner,  Edwin  Anthony, 
was  born  in  Somersetshire, 
England,  in  the  village  of 
Beckington,  where  Thomas 
a'Becket  is  supposed  to  be 
buried,  whence  is  derived  its 
name,  April  12th,  1850.  His 
whole  life,  until  he  came  to 
the  University  was  spent  in 
the  nurser}'  and  seed  business  founded  by 
his  mother's  family  in  1750.  The  house  of 
Bourne  &  Sons  continued  in  business  until 
just  a  few  years  ago,  having  been  continu- 
ously in  the  same  line  of  business  for  more 
than  a  century  and  a  half.  Mr.  Cuzner 
came  to  the  University  in  charge  of  the 
plant  house,  as  superintendent,  in  1883. 
Though  he  has  been  shifted  about  a  num- 
ber of  times  in  the  years  since  that  date, 
he  has  always  been  in  charge  of  the 
plant  house  and  was  for  a  time  superin- 
tendent of  grounds  as  well.  At  the  pres- 
ent time  he  is  superintendent  of  the  plant 
houses  and  devotes  his  whole  life  to  the 
care  of  the  .plants.  Outside  the  faculty  he 
is  the  oldest  University  officer  in  point  of 
service,  and  only  two  members  of  the  fac- 
ulty antedate  the  years  of  his  appointment.

times  out  of  ten,  graduates  of  this  school 
have  won  the  banner  for  the  highest  aver- 
age score  at  national  contests.  The  work 
is  wholb'  of  a  practical  nature,  every  hour

Dean  of  Women.  This  office  was  es- 
tablished by  resolution  of  the  board  of  re- 
gents at  its  December,  1906,  meeting.  The 
dean  of  women  is  to  be  the  friend  and  ad- 
viser of  every  young  woman  in  the  Uni- 
versity needing  such  help  as  a  wise,  cul- 
tured and  sympathetic  woman  can  give. 
Professor  Ada  Comstock  was  elected  dean 
at  the  May,  1907,  meeting  of  the  board  of

Debate.  Debate  has  always  been  a 
prominent  feature  of  the  work  of  the  liter- 
ary societies  of  the  University.  In  the 
very  beginning,  when  there  were  but  the 
two    literary    societies,    the    Delta     Sigma 


and  the  Hermean,  these  societies  used  to 
hold  joint  debates,  sometimes  as  often  as 
four  times  a  year,  while  the  weekly  pro- 
grams of  the  societies  provided,  almost  al- 
ways, for  a  debate. 

The  first  intercollegiate  debate  was  held 
May  26,  1893,  with  the  University  of  Iowa, 
in  Minneapolis.  Several  debates  were  held 
with  Iowa  and  Wisconsin,  without  any 
formal  organizations  of  any  kind  to  back 
the  Minnesota  teams,  which  teams  were 
composed  of  volunteers  who  were  willing 
to  devote  what  little  time  used  to  be  de- 
voted to  the  preparation  for  a  debate.  In 
1896,  the  federated  literary  societies  took 
up  the  subject  and  formed  plans  for  the 
choosing  of  debaters  to  represent  the  Uni- 
versity. This  rather  loose  form  of  organ- 
ization and  supervision  was  kept  up  until 
1898  when  the  University  debating  board 
was  formed  and  plans  made  for  sifting  the 
material  available  for  debate  until  the  best 
material  was  secured  to  make  up  the 
teams  to  represent  the  University.  See 
University   Debating  Board. 

Debates  with  Chicago.  Minnesota  has 
met  Chicago  in  debate  three  times,  as 
members    of    the    Central   debating    league.

December  13th,  1907,  was  that  the  affirm- 
ative won  in  every  case,  each  college  in 
the  league  winning  one  and  losing  one. 
The  question  argued  was,  ''Resolved,  That 
the  Federal  government  should  have  abso- 
lute control  of  all  corporations  doing  an 
interstate  business,  constitutionality  grant- 
ed." 

In  1908  Minnesota  lost  both  debates,  to 
Iowa  at  Minneapolis  and  to  Illinois  at  Ur- 
bana.  The  question  discussed  was,  "Re- 
solved, That  American  cities  should  adopt 
the  commission  form  of  government."  The 
team  which  met  Iowa  included  Max  Low- 
enthal,  John  F.  Sinclair  and  Zenas  Potter; 
The  team  which  met  Illinois  was  made  up 
as  follows:  Charles  Carlson,  Norman 
Houck  and   John   McKinnon. 

In  1909  Minnesota  won  both  debates. 
The  question  discussed  was,  "Resolved, 
That  a  graduate  income  tax  exempting  in- 
comes of  $5,000  or  less  would  be  a  desir- 
able feature  of  the  federal  taxation  sys- 
tem. Sigurd  H.  Peterson.  C.  E.  Carlson 
and  Lambert  Prigge  met  Wisconsin  in  the 
University  chapel  and  Charles  Rodeen, 
Norman  Houck  and  Fred  Johnson  met  Ne- 
braska at  Lincoln. 


In  1910  Minnesota  again  lost  both  de- 
bates, to  Iowa  at  Iowa  City  and  to  Illinois 
in  Minneapolis.  The  question  discussed  was, 
"Resolved,  That  the  movement  of  organ- 
ized labor  for  the  closed  shop  should  re- 
ceive the  support  of  public  opinion."  Hom- 
er Borst,  Eloi  Bauers  and  Theodore 
Thompson  went  against  Illinois  and  Stan- 
ley Gillam,  R.  N.  Olson  and  Henry  Pad- 
dock   met    the    Lowa   team. 

The  191 1  teams  were  both  successful  in 
handling  the  question,  "Resolved,  That 
the  United  States  should  adopt  a  policy  of 
shipping  subsidies."  Theodore  Thompson, 
Edgar  Zelle  and  Eloi  Bauers  met  Wiscon- 
sin at  Madison  and  Stanley  Gillam,  Theo- 
dore Utne  and  Matthias  N.  Olson  met  Ne- 
braska   in   the   University   chapel. 

Again  in  1912  Minnesota  won  both  de- 
bates, Illinois  was  defeated  at  home  by 
Henry  J.  Burgstahler,  O.  B.  Anderson  and 
Raymond  Ziesmer,  while  Iowa  was  de- 
feated in  Minneapolis  by  Vernon  E.  Sten- 
erson,  William  W.  Hodson  and  Donald  L. 
Pomeroy.  The  question  discussed  was, 
"Resolved,  That  all  corporations  engaged 
in  interstate  commerce  should  be  required 
to  take  out  a  federal  charter,  constitution- 
ality granted;  provided  that  federal  license 
shall  not  be  available  as  an  alternative 
plan."

Demonstration  Farms.  The  plans  of  su- 
pervising farms  in  various  parts  of  the 
State  with  the  idea  of  demonstrating  meth- 
ods of  practical  value  to  that  part  of  the 
State,  was  started  in  1910.  About  25  dem- 
onstration farms  are  being  operated  at 
the  present  time  under  the  direction  of 
three  men.  Each  farm  is  visited  at  least 
twice  each  month  and  public  demonstra- 
tions are  given  at  convenient  seasons.  The 
work  of  the  farm  is  done  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  visiting  supervisor  and  careful 
record  is  kept  of  all  operations,  expenses, 
etc.  These  farms  are  always  open  to  pub- 
lic inspection  and  at  stated  times  the  gen- 
eral public  is  invited  to  visit  the  farms. 
An  adidtional  feature  in  this  work  has 
been  the  maintenance  of  small  demonstra- 
tion plots  in  co-operation  with  several 
farmers  in  various  communities.  This 
phase  of  the  work  is  confined  to  the  dem- 
onstration of  specific  problems  such  as  the 
growing  of  alfalfa,  or  the  killing  of  quack 
grass,  or  seed  improvement,  etc.

Dentistry  Building  (formerly  Medical 
Science).  This  building  was  completed  in 
1896  at  an  initial  cost  of  $40,000,  an  addi- 
tion was  made  in  1898  and  the  building 
was  remodeled  in  1912,  at  an  additional 
cost  of  $20,000;  it  represents  a  value  of 
about  $90,000,  at  the  present  time.  It  is 
constructed  of  light  brick  and  covers  7.Sx 
150  feet  and  is  four  stories  high.  Origin- 
ally the  building  was  occupied  by  the  med- 
ical sciences  requiring  the  use  of  consider- 
able laboratory  space,  not  including  chem- 
istry; the  building  also  housed  the  college 
of  pharmacy  in  the  south  wing.  The  build- 
ing is  well  arranged  and  well  lighted  for 
laboratory  work.  The  legislature  of  1911 
appropriated  $20,000  to  remodel  this  build- 
ing for  the  use  of  the  college  of  dentistry. 
The  fire  in  Millard  hall  hastened  the  work 
of  remodeling  and  the  college  of  dentistry 
took  possession  of  the  building  in  the  fall 
of  1912,  the  college  of  pharmacy  still  using, 
temporarily,  a  portion  of  the  south  wing. 
With  the  opening  of  the  year  1913-14,  the 
college  of  dentistry  is  in  exclusive  posses- 
sion of  the  building  which  is  wonderfully 
well  suited  to  its  use. 

Dentistry,  The  College  of.  In  1883,  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  old  Minnesota 
Hospital  College,  backed  by  the  newly  or- 
ganized state  dental  association  organized 
a  course  in  dentistry  of  two  years  of  five 
months  each.  This  course  was  pursued  in 
common  with  medical  students  and  the 
clinical  work  required  for  a  diploma  was 
the  treatment  of  two  or  more  patients,  one

plate,  one  thesis  on  an  original  subject  and 
one  mechanical  specimen  to  be  deposited 
in  the  museum. 

When  the  college  of  medicine  and  sur- 
gery was  re-orgainzed  in  1888  and  the  de- 
partment of  medicine  was  established  as  a 
teaching  instead  of  an  examining  institu- 
tion, provison  was  made  for  the  establish- 
ment of  the  college  of  dentistry  and  a  fa- 
culty was  appointed  with  Dr.  Charles  M. 
Bailey,  as  secretatry,  Dr.  Millard  being 
dean  of  the  department.  The  work  of  the 
college  was  carried  along  for  four  years, 
in  the  old  building  at  the  corner  of  ninth 
avenue  south  and  sixth  street,  since  occu- 
pied by  Asbury  Hospital,  and  in  1892,  the 
college  came  to  the  campus,  with  other 
colleges  of  the  department  and  a  re-organ- 
ization took  place  which  gave  the  college 
larger  freedom  in  the  management  of  its 
own  affairs,  and  Dr.  W.  Xavier  Sudduth 
was  elected  dean,,  which  office  he  held 
until  1895,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Dr. 
Thomas  E.  Weeks,  who  was  dean  until 
1897.  The  deanship  was  dropped  for  a  time 
and  Dr.  William  E.  Dickinson  was  made 
secretary,  afterward,  in  1899  being  made 
acting  dean;  in  1900  he  was  made  dean, 
continuing  in  that  office  until  1905.  when 
Dr.  Alfred  Owre,  of  the  class  of  1894,  was 
made  dean,  being  the  first  alumnus  of  the 
University   to  be   appointed   to   that   office. 

The  college  was  housed  in  Millard  hall 
on  the  main  campus  from  1892  down  to 
March  ist,  1912,  when  Millard  hall  was 
destroyed  by  fire.  It  was  accommodated 
for  the  balance  of  that  year  in  the  Labor- 
atory of  Experimental  Engineering  and 
later  was  removed  to  the  Medical  Science 
Building  on  Pleasant  Street.  During  the 
year  1912-1.'^  it  occupied  the  major  portion 
of  this  building,  the  college  of  Pharmacy 
retaining  the  rooms  previously  used  by 
that  department  for  the  year.  With  the 
opening  of  the  year  1913-14  the  college 
occupies  the  whole  of  the  building  form- 
erly used  by  the  laboratories  of  medical 
sciences.  The  building  has  been  thoroughly 
remodeled  for  the  use  of  the  department 
and  furnishes  suitable  and  pleasant  quar- 
ters for  the  college. 

This  college  course  has  always  been  a 
minimum  of  three  years  and  the  entrance 
requirement  has  been  raised,  at  various 
times,  so  that  now  a  full  high  school 
course  is  required,  together  with  the  dem- 
onstration of  mechanical  ability.  In  1904 
it  was  decided  to  make  the  course  a  four 
year  course,  and  announcement  was  made 
of  the  plan.  However,  the  plan  was  never 
put  into  operation  and  no  class  has  ever 
been  required  to  complete  four  years  work 
for  a  diploma  though  students  are  strongly 
advised  to  pursue  a  year's  preliminary 
work  in  the  college  of  science,  literature 
and  the  arts. 

The  work  of  the  first  year  is  quite  simi- 
lar to  the  work  of  the  college  of  medicine 
and  surgery,,  the  same  subjects  are  pur- 
sued but  less  time  is  devoted  to  the  same 
and  the  time  so  saved  is  devoted  to  sub- 
jects directly  bearing  upon  the  practice  of 


dentistry.  The  work  of  the  second  and 
third  years  is  devoted  exclusively  to  sub- 
jects directly  bearing  upon  dentistry.  The 
tuition  required  in  this  college  is  a  level 
fee  of  $iso  a  year.  The  degree  granted  is 
that  of  doctor  of  dental  surger3^  though 
from  1893  to  1902,  inclusive,  the  degree 
granted  by  this  college  was  that  of  doctor 
of  dental  medicine.  The  college  is  a  mem- 
ber of  Dental  Faculties  Association  of  Am- 
erican Universities  and  its  diploma  is  rec- 
ognized by  the  dental  examining  boards  of 
every  state  in  the  union.  The  faculty  in- 
cludes in  addition  to  27  members  of  other 
faculties  who  give  instruction  to  students 
in  this  college,  6  professors,  9  assistant 
professors,  4  associate  professors,  9  in- 
structors and  assistants  who  give  instruc- 
tion in  dental  subjects  only.  Three  nurses 
are  on  duty  in  the  infirmary  at  all  times. 
The  enrollment  for  1912-13  was  254.  The 
college  year  is  co-incident  with  that  of 
other  departments  of  the  University.  The 
college  has  granted  715  degrees,  708  to 
men  and  7  to  women.  509  of  these  degrees 
were  doctor  of  dental  surgery  and  206  doc- 
tor of  dental  medicine.

Dormitories.  The  policy  of  the  Univer- 
sity has  been  not  to  provide  dormitories 
for  students,  save  for  those  attending  the 
schools  of  agriculture,  where  conditions 
have  made  such  a  policy  almost  impera- 
tive. A  departure  from  this  policy  was 
made  when  Sanford  Hall,  a  dormitory  ac- 
commodating ninety  women  was  erected 
upon  the  University  campus  in  1910.

nually, usually  in  some  down-town  theatre. 
The  club  has  also  taken  short  trips  out 
into  some  of  the  larger  cities  of  the  state 
for  the  purpose  of  presenting  plays  which 
have  been  put  on  at  home.  Organized 
February  21,  1896.  There  seems  to  have 
been  some  sort  of  a  dramatic  organization 
in  existence,  as  far  back  as  the  spring  of 
1892,  but  it  is  impossible  to  learn  definite- 
ly about  its  doings.  A  play  entitled  "A 
Box  of   Monkeys"  was   given  in   chapel   in 


the  spring  of  1892,  and  it  was  at  this  play 
that  a  fire  was  started  which  destroyed  the 
top  floor  of  the  old  main.  No  record  can 
be  found  of  anything  between  this  date 
and  the  following:

Education,  The  College  of.  The  first 
work  in  education  as  a  part  of  the  regular 
college  course  was  offered  in  1885-86, 
when  Professor  Harry  P.  Judson,  now 
President  of  the  University  of  Chicago 
delivered  a  course  of  lectures,  one  hour  a 
week,  to  seniors  in  the  third  term.  This 
course  was  continued  until  1892,  when  a 
teachers'  course,  of  two  years,  was  estab- 
lished, upon  the  completion  of  which  a 
University  teachers'  certificate  was  granted. 
For  one  year  Dr.  David  L.  Kiehle,  then 
superintendent  of  public  instruction  con- 
ducted the  course,  and  in  the  following  year 
was  appointed  professor  in  charge.  The  two- 
year  course  was  discontinued  in  1899,  and 
from  that  time  on  the  University  teachers' 
certificate  was  granted  to  graduates  of  the 
college  of  science,  literature  and  the  arts 
who  had  completed  certain  prescribed 
work  in  psychology  and  in  the  history, 
theory  and  practice  of  education.  This 
certificate  is  a  license  to  the  holder  to 
teach  in  any  school  of  the  state  for  two 
years  without  examination,  and  at  the  end 
of  two  years  of  successful  experience  may 
be  endorsed  and  made  permanent  for  this 
state. 

In  1902,  Dr.  Kiehle  resigned  from  his 
work  in  the  University,  and  Dr.  George  F. 
James  was  appointed  in  his  place.  In  the 
three  succeeding  years  the  enrollment  of 
students  in  this  work  increased  from  less 
than  100  to  over  300.  Additional  courses 
were  ofifered,  the  attendance  in  these  in- 
dicating the  need  of  larger  opportunities 
at  the  University  for  the  training  of  teach- 
ers. In  response  to  the  act  of  the  Legis- 
lature in  1905  the  college  of  education  was 
authorized  by  the  regents  as  a  separate 
school.  Dr.  James  was  appointed  dean 
and  was  directed  to  organize  a  course  of 
study.  The  college  offers  a  practical  and 
theoretical  training  for  high  school  teach- 
ers and  principals,  principals  of  elementary 
schools,  supervisors  of  special  studies  and 
superintendents  of  school  systems.  Stu- 
dents are  enrolled  after  two  years  of  col- 
legiate work  for  a  two-year  and  three-year 
course  of  study  leading  respectively  to  the 
degrees  bachelor  of  arts  in  education  and 
master  of  arts.  The  faculty  includes  now 
three  professors,  two  assistant  professors 
and  five  instructors  in  addition  to  fifteen 
or  twenty  professors  from  various  faculties 
of  the  University,  who  are  interested  in 
one  phase  or  another  of  teachers'  train- 
ing. The  first  class  was  graduated  in  June 
1907.  The  legislature  of  1913  made  provi- 
sion for  the  first  separate  building  for  the 
use  of  the  college,  when  it  appropriated 
$54,000  to  repair  and  remodel  the  school 
of  mines  building  for  the  use  of  this  col- 
lege. 


Education  in  Minnesota.  A  book  pub- 
lished by  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Company,  in 
1903.  This  book  which  contains  much 
valuable  historical  material,  relating  to  the 
University  as  well  as  to  education  in  Min- 
nesota in  general,  was  written  by  Dr. 
David  L.  Kiehle,  while  professor  of  peda- 
gogy in  the  University.  \'aluable  to  any- 
one interested  in  looking  up  the  history 
of  the  University.  It  also  contains  a  re- 
port upon  the  systematic  study  of  and  ar- 
rangement of  the  school  laws  and  sources 
of  school  support  in  the  state  of  Minne- 
sota.

Electrical  Engineering  Building.  This 
was  constructed  in  1900,  at  a  cost  of  $20,- 
000,  with  expectation  that  it  would  eventu- 
ally form  one  of  the  wings  of  a  main  engi- 
neering building  to  be  later  constructed. 
The  building  is  of  brick  and  slow  burning 
construction.  The  main  portion  is  80x60 
feet  and  two  stories  high.  A  wing,  70x90 
feet,  adjoining  is  used  for  the  University 
lighting  plant  and  for  instruction  in  con- 
nection with  the  practical  work  of  the 
course.  The  building  contains  a  standard- 
izing laboratory,  electro-chemical  labora- 
torj',  shop,  battery  room,  stock  and  toilet 
rooms.  On  the  first  floor  are  the  dynamo 
laboratorj',  high  tension  laboratory,  re- 
search  laboratories,   instrument   rooms   and

office.  On  the  second  floor  are  the  labora- 
tories for  photometry,  photography,  meter 
and  lamp  testing  rooms  and  class,  drawmg 
and   library   rooms  and   offices. 

In  1913,  $18,000  were  added  to  the  equip- 
ment of  this  building  and  changes  m  the 
building  itself,  aggregating  $2,000  were 
made. 

Eliot,   Ruth,   cataloger,    191 1    to    191 2. 
^    ^^  Elliot,    Adolphus     F.     and 

^  Mary      Ellen     Hoar      Elliot. 

Dr.    Elliot   left  his   estate   to 
his    wife,   and   she   left  prop- 
erty which  netted  the  sum  of 
$120,000.  to  Walter  J.  Trask, 
formerly   of   Minneapolis,  but 
later  of    Los  Angeles,    Calif., 
an    attorney,    to    be    used    to 
secure  the  erection  of  a  building  upon   the 
University   campus,   as   a   memorial   to   her 
husband.   Dr.   Elliot.     Mr.   Trask,  naturally 
decided   that  no   other  mem- 
orial could  be  so  fitting  to  a 
physician    as    a    hospital    and 
so     made     a     tender     of     the 
"a      ''JW         property     to     the     board     of 
G^     "^  regents     of     the     University, 

V^-  for    that    purpose.      The    re- 

^  gents  were   willing  to  accept 

'^  -    -  but  felt  that  they  should  not 

bind  the  state  to  support  such  an  institu- 
tion, as  they  would  virtually  by  accepting 
the  gift  outright,  and  so  asked  to  be  al- 
lowed to  hold  the  same  in  abeyance  until 
the  legislature  could  be  consulted.  This 
the  trustee,  Mr.  Trask,  very  readily  agreed 
to  and  the  legislature  also  authorized  the 
acceptance   of  the   gift. 

Dr.  Elliot  was  formerly  a_  practicing 
physician  in  Minneapolis  and  his  wife,  was 
formerly  Miss  Mary  Ellen  Hoar,  a  daugh- 
ter of  Michael  Hoar,  employed  on  the 
Sibley  estate  at  Weston,  fifty  years  ago.  On 
her  mother's  death  she  was  cared  for  by 
Mrs.  Richard  Holbrook  and  assumed  the 
name  Holbrook.  She  and  Dr.  Elliot 
were  married  about  1895.  Prior  to  her 
death,  Mrs.  Elliot  gave  the  school  of 
mines  $5,000,  the  income  of  which  is  to 
be  used  to  assist  students  needing  financial 
aid  to  finish  their  courses  in  that  school. 

Elliot  Scholarship  Loan  Fund,  The.     To 

fulfill  the  wish  of  the  late  Dr.  A.  F.  Elliot 
to  aid  young  men  who  find  their  efforts  to 
obtain  a  practical  education  embarrassed 
through  lack  of  means,  $5,000,  the  income 
from  which  amounts  to  $250  per  year,  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  the  regents  in 
1902.  to  be  used  as  a  scholarship  loan 
fund  for  assisting  young  men  in  the  school 
of  mines.  The  money  was  not  formally 
turned  over  to  the  regents  until  1905,  be- 
ing held  by  Mrs.  Elliot,  only  the  income 
$250,  being  turned  over.  On  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Elliot  the  money  was  turned  over 
to  the  board  of  regents  and  is  now  invested 
in    N.   P.   gold   5   per   cent   bonds. 

The  conditions  of  granting  the  scholar- 
ship loans  are:  the  financial  needs  of  the 
applicant,  his  scholarship,  moral  character. 


enthusiasm  shown  in  his  work  and  promise 
of  usefulness  in  his  profession.  When 
money  is  available  it  may  be  loaned  to 
pay  expenses  of  worthy  students  during 
sickness.  The  loans  are  to  be  repaid,  with- 
out interest,  at  the  earliest  convenience  of 
the   recipients. 

Elliot  Hospital.  Funds  for  the  erection 
of  this  hospital  were  provided  by  the  will 
of  Mrs.  Adolphus  F.  Elliot,  who  desired 
the  net  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  certain 
property  to  be  used  to  erect  a  memorial 
to  her  husband.  The  trustee,  Mr.  Walter 
J.  Trask,  asked  that  the  money  $113,000, 
which  with   interest  amounted   to   $120,000, 


be  used  to  erect  a  hospital;  this  was  sup- 
plemented by  a  legislative  appropriation  of 
$40,000.  The  building  was  completed  Aug- 
ust 191 1.  It  is  a  four  story  brick  and 
stone  structure  and  is  fire  proof.  It  con- 
tains 120  beds,  as  follows:  60  medicine,  40 
surgery,  20  obstetrics.  At  the  present  time 
only  internal  medical,  surgical  and  obstet- 
rical cases  are  admitted.

Experimental  Engineering  Building  is  lo- 
cated on  the  east  margin  of  the  engineer- 
ing- campus  along  Union  street.  The  main 
room  in  the  body  of  the  building  has  inside 
dimensions  of  about  57x227  feet.  It  is  all 
one  large  beautiful  room  reaching  to  the 
roof  with  overhead  sky-lighting.  The  walls 
are  of  buff  enameled  brick.  The  cement 
floor  is  of  Nile  green.  The  main  floor  is 
of  heavy  reinforced  concrete  so  designed 
that  an  engine  may  be  placed  anywhere 
without  considering  any  further  founda- 
tions or  supports.  A  10  ton  crane  travels 
the  full  length  of  the  building.  In  the 
basement  are  rooms  for  the  testing  of 
road  materials,  cements  and  concretes,  a 
fine  wash  room  with  shower  baths,  a 
locker  room,  store  rooms,  and  research 
and    thesis    rooms.      On    the    second    floor

The  total  amount  of  land  acquired  being 
142  acres. 

The  following  year,  January  4th,  1870, 
$122  were  paid  to  Regent  Merriman  for 
money  advanced  by  him  to  Baker  on  land 
purchase.  The  total  amount  of  land  pur- 
chased was  one  hundred  forty-two  (142) 
acres  at  a  total  cost  of  $6,414.96.  $1,413.17 
were  spent  for  fencing,  interest  on  money 
borrowed  to  make  purchase,  and  to  sundry 
other  small  bills.  The  balance  $671.87  was 
applied  on  a  note  for  $1,500  due  B.  F.  Pills- 
bury,  April   14th,  1884. 

This  farm  was  located  along  both  sides 
of   University  avenue   from    Oak    street   to

recitation  and  computing  rooms  open,  and 
the  museum  of  broken  specimens,  which 
is  yet  to  be  established.  This  building  was 
completed  and  occupied  in  1911  and  cost 
$100,000.00.  In  exterior  it  is  similar  in 
every  respect  to  the  main  engineering 
building.  It  is  likewise  fireproof  through-

Experimental  Farm  at  St.  Anthony  Park. 

The  act  granting  lands  for  the  endowment 
of  a  college  of  agriculture  provided  that 
not  to  exceed  ten  per  cent  of  the  proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  lands  granted  might  be 
used  for  the  purchase  of  an  experimental 
farrru  Under  the  provisions  of  this  act 
there  were  set  aside  $8,500  for  the  purchase 
of  an  experimental  farm.  The  first  pur- 
chase of  land  for  this  purpose  was  made 
September  29th,  1868  and  the  second  Oc- 
tober 19th  of  the  same  year.  Ninety-six 
acres  were  secured  by  these  purchases  and 
payments   were   made    as   follows: 

To    E.   L.  Willis $2,419.00 

To  D.  A.  J.  Baker 194-55 

To   H.    H.    Sibley 2,224.45 

Total    amount    paid $4,838.00 

The  following  year  additional  purchases 
were  made  and  payments  were  made  as 
follows: 


Prospect  park,  and  was  used  as  an  experi- 
mental farm  until  1882.  With  the  appoint- 
ment of  Professor  Porter,  in  1881,  came  a 
change.  Professor  Porter  reported  the 
farm  as  being  of  little  value  for  experi- 
mental purposes,  recommended  the  sale  of 
this  farm  and  the  purchase  of  another  bet- 
ter suited  to  the  ends  to  be  attained,  ex- 
perimental demonstrations  of  practical 
methods  of  farming.  Professor  Porter  fin- 
ally decided  to  recommend  the  purchase  of 
two  tracts  of  land,  aggregating  a  trifle 
less  than  250  acres. 

Upon  recommendation  of  the  Board  of 
Regents,  the  legislature  of  1881  gave  its 
sanction  to  the  sale  of  the  farm  mentioned 
above  and  to  th€  purchase  of  another  farm, 
better  suited  to  the  needs  of  an  experi- 
mental farm,  out  of  the  proceeds  of  the 
sale.  The  first  step  was  to  secure  an  op- 
tion on  a  quarter  section  of  land,  N.  W. 
1-4,  Sec.  21,  T  29,  R  23,  less  five  acres,  155 
acres  net,  for  $200  an  acre.  The  land  be- 
longed to  Captain  E.  W.  Bass. 

The  old  University  farm  was  platted  into 
city  lots  and  a  maximum  and  minimum 
price  fixed  for  each  lot,  and  the  whole  put 
up  at  auction  with  the  condition  that  if  the 
minimum  price  was  not  bid,  the  lot  would 
be  withdrawn  from  sale.  The  first  public 
sale  took  place  October  11,  1882,  in  the 
Nicollet  House  lobby,  and   152  lots  and  a

small  triangular  piece  containing  2  1-2  acres 
were  sold  for  $47,400.  There  remained  164 
lots.  The  sale  was  not  completed  in  Oc- 
tober, partly  for  lack  of  time  and  partly 
because  the  title  to  some  of  the  lots  could 
not  be  perfected  until  the  court  had  vacat- 
ed some  portions  of  Baker's  addition  and 
the  lots  had  been  replatted  to  conform 
with  the  extension  of  University  avenue 
and  parallel  streets.  The  second  public 
auction  sale  was  held  at  the  same  place, 
May  17th,  1883.  The  amount  realized  at 
this  second  sale,  together  with  sul:)sequent 
sales,  prior  to  Juljr  1901,  was  $122,690.42. 
Subsequent  sales,  up  to  July  31st,  1910, 
amounting  to  $10,528.66,  brought  the  grand 
total  from  sale  of  lots  on  the  old  farm  to 
$180,619.08.  From  this  should  properly  l)e 
deducted  $3,071.08,  the  amount  received 
from  sale  of  stock,  stone  and  fire  insurance 
on  old  farm  building,  making  the  net 
amount  received  from  sale  of  lots  alone, 
$177,548. 

The  cost  of  making  these  sales,  drawing 
papers,  commissions,  rent  of  lobby,  auc- 
tioneer fees,  and  interest  on  money  ad- 
vanced   to    make    purchase,    amounted     to 


In  1905  the  legislature  made  provision  for 
the  purchase  of  additional  land  and  the 
following  year  twenty  acres  were  purchas- 
ed, $8,210.69  were  taken  from  the  proceeds 
of  sale  of  the  old  farm  and  the  balance, 
$11,789.31,  came  out  of  the  $60,000  appro- 
priated to  complete  the  main  building  and 
purchase    additional    land. 

The  legislature  of  1907  appropriated  ^76,- 
000  for  the  purchase  of  149  acres  of  land 
to  be  added  to  the  experimental  farm.  The 
purchase  was  made  and  a  balance  of  $3,- 
238.67  remains  to  the  credit  of  the  Univer- 
sity. The  farm  now  consists  of  418  545-

A  large  sum  was  spent  in  erecting  new 
buildings,  $82,353.21  in  all.  The  records  do 
not  show  just  how  much  was  spent  for 
each  building,  but  the  following  is  prob- 
ably a  close  estimate — Farm  house,  $27,- 
353.21;  farm  barn,  $16,000;  station  building, 
$16,000:  school  building  $19,000;  Green

nish the  house;  $6,471.33  were  spent  equip- 
ping the  farm,  including  machinery,  fenc-

This  statement,  made  April  26th,  191 1, 
is  not  far  from  correct,  though  it  does  not 
pretend  to  be  accurate  to  a  penny.  It  is 
as  close  a  statement  as  can  be  made  at 
this  time.  Some  items  that  appear  in  the 
old  book  are  not  easily  distributed  and  it 
has  been  a  matter  of  judgment  just  how 
they  should  be'  charged.  The  item  of 
$1500,  for  legal  services  was  charged  to 
the  sale  of  the  old  campus  and  the  balance

of    the    charge,    something-   over   $450,    was 
charged  against  the  campus. 

There  still  remain,  unsold,  of  the  original 
experimental  farm  the  following:  Frac- 
tional lots  I,  2,  3,  4,  5.  6,  7,  8,  18.  17,  16,  15, 
and  all  of  lot  14,  block  14,  and  lots  5,  6,  7, 
block  21,  regents  addition  to   Minneapolis. 

Experiment  Station  Building.  This  build- 
ing was  erected  in  1884,  from  the  profits 
on  the  sale  of  the  first  University  farm.  It 
was  totally  destroyed  by  fire,  October  5th, 
1890. 

Extempo  Oratorical  and  Story  Contest. 
March  15th,  1901,  a  contest  was  held  with 
the  University  of  Nebraska  in  which  the 
representatives  of  both  institutions  were 
obliged  to  speak  extemporaneously  upon  a 
sub-topic,  chosen  by  chance,  at  the  opening 
of  the  contest  from  a  number  of  such 
topics  related  to  two  general  topics  pre- 
viously announced.  In  this  contest  G.  L. 
Caldwell,  Minnesota's  representative  won. 
The  contest  was  held  at  Minneapolis.  Ne- 
braska won  the  story  contest. 

Extension  Debates.  In  the  spring  of 
1913  six  men  and  two  alternates  were  chos- 
en to  represent  the  University  in  debate 
in  the  University  weeks  program.  These 
men  were  prepared  to  debate  either  "wo- 
man suffrage"  or  socialism,"  just  as  re- 
quested by  the  audience  at  the  time  of  the 
debate. 

Faculty  Dining  Club.  Organized  in  1906 
and  in  existence  until  1911.  This  organ- 
ization was  very  informal,  all  male  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  being  eligible.  The 
club  met  once  a  month,  usually  at  Don- 
aldson's tea  rooms,  to  dine  together  and 
discuss  in  a  more  or  less  informal  way 
problems  connected  with  the  life  and  ac- 
tivities of  the  University. 

Faculty  Publications.  A  faculty  commit- 
tee headed  by  Dr.  J.  B.  Johnston  has  pre- 
pared for  publication  a  complete  bibli- 
ography of  faculty  publications  to  the  end 
of  1912  or  to  the  date  when  connection 
with  the  University  ended.  The  list  is 
printed  in  two  sections.  The  first  con- 
tains research  papers  and  text  books  of 
University  grade.  The  second  section  con- 
tains literary,  educational  and  miscellan- 
eous contributions  of  general  interest 
or  permanent  value.  Secondary  text  books 
are  included  in  this  section.  In  the  pro- 
fessional schools  technical  papers,  unless 
they  contain  research  work,  have  been 
omitted.  Had  these  been  included  the 
size  of  the  publication  would  have  been 
doubted.     Published   by  the   University. 

Failure  of  freshmen,  causes  of.  Profes- 
sor J.  B.  Miner  made  a  study  of  the  cases 
coming  before  the  committee  on  students' 
work  for  a  year  and  wrote  an  article  em- 
bodying the  results  of  his  study  which  ap- 
peared in  the  Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly 
of  November  8,   1909. 

Farley,  F.  A.  Instructor  in  animal  hus- 
bandry, school  of  agriculture,  1906-07. 


Farmers'  Club  of  Minnesota.  An  organ- 
ization composed  of  students  and  ex-stu- 
dents and  members  of  the  faculty  of  the 
school  of  agriculture.  Any  one  who  has 
ever  registered  as  a  student  in  the  _  reg- 
ular, dairy  or  short  course  or  who  is  or 
has  been  a  teacher  in  the  school  of  agri- 
culture, is  eligible  to  membership.  The 
objects  of  the  association  are  to  foster  and 
strengthen  the  ties  between  the  school  and 
its  former  students  and  to  extend  the  work 
of  the  school  and  experiment  station 
among  the  farmers  of  the  state.  To  this 
end  the  members  of  the  State  club  have 
formed  county  clubs  which  hold  annual 
meetings  for  the  benefit  of  the  farmers  of 
the  community.  To  quote  from  the  an- 
nual address  of  its  president:  "The  school 
of  agriculture  is  an  institution  of  the  farm- 
ers, for  the  farmers,  and  supported  in  a 
large  measure  by  them,  and  each  student  of 
the  school  should  use  his  knowledge  to 
better  the  conditions  about  him.  The 
state  has  invested  from  one  to  several  hun- 
dred dollars  in  his  education  and  expects 
to  realize  on  that  investment  by  the  know- 
ledge which  he  will  distribute." 

Farm  House.  This  building  was  erect- 
ed in  1884  at  a  cost  of  $25,000,  the  money 
being  provided  from  the  profits  on  the 
sale  of  the  first  University  farm.  It  is 
a  frame  structure  38  x  70  feet,  and  pro- 
vides accommodations  for  the  farm  help, 
rooms,    and   boarding   house. 

Farmers'  Institutes,  The. 
These  institutes,  or  rather 
the  system  under  which  these 
institutes  are  provided,  is  a 
direct  product  of  the  Uni- 
versity. In  the  early  eighties, 
when  the  University  was 
making  the  most  strenuous 
efiforts  to  get  the  farmers  to 
send  their  children  to  the  University  to  be 
educated  in  agriculture  and  to  become  farm- 
ers, and  when  the  feeling  against  the  Univer- 
sity ran  high  and  every  session  of  the  leg- 
islature saw  determined  efiforts  to  divide 
the  University  and  make  the  department 
of  agriculture  an  independent  institution, 
someone  conceived  th>e  brilliant  idea  of 
taking  education  to  the  farmer.  President 
Northrop  became  convinced  of  the  neces- 
sity of  doing  this  and  looked  around  for 
the  proper  man.  F.  Amos  Johnson,  then 
registrar,  suggested  the  name  of  O.  C. 
Gregg,  of  Lynd  and  he  was  sent  for.  After 
a  short  talk  with  President  Northrop,  the 
President  was  convinced  that  he  had  found 
the  right  man  and  sent  him  to  Governor 
Pillsbury,  the  president  of  the  board  of 
regents.  Governor  Pillsbury,  became  an 
enthusiastic  convert  to  the  new  plan  and 
the  man  who  proposed  it  and  volunteered 
to  provide  the  expenses  of  the  work,  if  Mr. 
Gregg  would  take  hold  of  it.  The  first 
ofificial  action  taken  by  the  board  of  regents 
was  February  loth,  when  the  board  auth- 
orized Professor  Porter  to  employ  Mr. 
Gregg  in  institute  work  and  ordering  a  dis- 
continuance of  the  farmers'  lecture  course.

Mr.  Gregg  began  his  work  in  the  spring 
of  1886  and  continued  the  work,  under  the 
direction  of  the  board  of  regents  until 
July  31st,   1887. 

In  November  1886,  the  board  of  regents 
appointed  a  committee  to  wait  upon  Gov- 
ernors Hubbard  and  McGill  to  urge  an  ap- 
propriation of  $5,000  for  institute  work. 
The  committee  was  instructed  to  do  all  in 
its  power  to  secure  the  appropriation.  The 
legislature  of  1887  made  an  appropriation 
of  $7,500,  50  per  cent  more  than  was  first 
asked,  for  the  purpose,  and  the  administra- 
tion of  the  work  was  entrusted  to  a  spec- 
ial board  created  by  the  same  act. 

Mr.  O.  C.  Gregg,  was  chosen  superin- 
tendent, in  April  1887,  and  has  held  that 
position  for  twenty  years.  The  board  of 
regents  have  always  been  represented,  of- 
ficially, on  the  board  of  managers  of  these 
institutes,  and  at  the  present  time  it  is  rep- 
resented by  three  members,  the  other  three 
members  being  the  presidents  of  the  state 
societies  of  agriculture,  and  horticulture  and 
the  state  dairy  association.  The  appropri- 
ation has  increased  to  $12,500  annually.  The 
school  of  agriculture  was  a  direct  out- 
growth of  the  field  work  of  the  farmers' 
institutes.  The  organization  of  the  insti- 
tutes under  University  supervision  is  un- 
doubtedly responsible  for  the  fact  that  the 
University  has  been  kept  intact  and  its  ag- 
ricultural department  an  integral  part  of 
the  University. 

Farm  Machinery  Building.  This  building 
was  erected  in  1904,  at  a  cost  of  $5,000. 

Farmers'  Short  Course.  This  course  was 
first  offered  in  1901-02.  It  is  a  special 
course  provided  for  farmers  and  farmers' 
wives,  and  is  given  during  the  month  of 
January.  Practical  courses  in  improved 
methods  of  farming  and  instruction  in 
various  lines,  of  special  interest  and  value 
to  men  and  women  who  operate  and  live 
on  farms,  is  offered.  Instruction  is  given 
by  means  of  lectures,  demonstrations  and 
practice  work.  1,333  persons  have  com- 
pleted such  courses,  up  to  and  including 
the  year  1912.  A  similar  course  is  offered 
at  the  Northwest  school  of  agriculture  at 
Crookston.

Federated  Literary  Societies  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Minnesota,  The.  The  purpose 
of  this  federation  of  literary  societies  of  the 
University  is  the  promotion  of  general  lit- 
erary and  oratorical  work  in  the  Univer- 
sity. Organized  in  1896.  This  federation 
holds  four  meetings  each  year  at  which 
programs  are  given  by  members  of  the 
various  societies  composing  the  federation. 
Societies  represented  are  the  Forum, 
Shakopean,  Castalian,  Minerva  and  Arena. 
This  federation  is  now  known  as  the  Min- 
nesota literary  union.

tion. This  bulletin  represents  the  results 
of  a  very  long  and  careful  series  of  experi- 
ments carried  on  in  the  department  and  is 
the  completest  report  on  the  subject  in 
existence.

Fires.  The  University  has  had  twenty- 
two  fires  during  the  forty-three  years  of 
its  existence.  On  December  3d,  1888,  the 
Agricultural  College  building,  situated 
where  the  Chemistry  building  now  stands, 
was  burned.  It  contained  the  plant  house 
and  the  chemical  laboratory.  The  loss  was 
complete.  The  insurance  received  was 
$5,087. 

On  October  5th,  1890,  the  Station  build- 
ing at  the  University  Farm  was  totally  de- 
stroyed by  fire.  The  insurance  received 
was  $10,000. 

Pillsbury  Hall  suffered  by  fire  December 
3d,  1889.  The  insurance  received,  $10,355.50, 
covered  the  loss. 

The  Old  Main  building  was  partially 
burned  twice  and  was  finally  destroyed 
September  24th,  1904.  The  first  fire  oc- 
curred January  3,  1890.  The  loss  was  cov- 
ered by  insurance  amounting  to  $5,587.06. 
The  second  fire  was  that  of  April  30,  1892, 
the  evening  when  the  play  "A  Box  of 
Monkeys"  was  given  in  the  chapel.  The 
loss  was  fully  covered  by  insurance  and 
was  $6,423.99  on  building  and  $2,887.90  on 
contents.  When  the  last  fire  occurred, 
which  totally  destroyed  the  building,  there 
was  $58,000  insurance  collected  on  the 
building  and  $5,000  on  the  contents. 

The  Coliseum  was  totally  destroyed  by 
fire  on  the  evening  of  July  24,  1894.  The 
insurance  received  was  $19,000. 

A  fire  in  the  Mechanic  Arts  building  on 
January  13,  1895,  resulted  in  a  loss  on  the 
building  of  $806  and  on  the  contents  of 
$1,662.32,  which  sums  were  collected  from 
the  insurance  companies.  A  second  fire 
occurred  in  this  building,  October  29,  1904; 
the  loss  on  the  building  was  $1,285.46,  and 
on  the  contents  $3,646.30,  both  of  which 
were  fully  covered  by  insurance. 

The  Laboratory  of  Medical  Chemistry 
suffered  by  fire,  February  23,  1901.  The 
loss  on  the  building-  of  $2,571.71  and  on 
the  contents  of  $1,664.11  was  paid  by  the 
insurance   companies. 

The  Main  Medical  building,  now  Millard 
Hall,  had  a  small  fire  July  22d,  1905.     The

THE  MINNESOTA 


insurance  received  on  the  building  was 
$3,540.22  and  on  the  contents  was  $1,083.45. 

The  Anatomical  building  was  partially 
burned,  January  29,  1902.  The  loss,  fully 
covered  by  insurance,  was  $5,006.73  on  the 
building   and   $2,564.70   on    the   contents. 

The  Ore  Testing  building  was  injured  by 
a  fire  on  August  29,  1902.  Insurance  re- 
ceived on  building  was  $4,112.33,  on  the 
contents  $2,300. 

July  25,  1905,  the  Anatomical  building 
suffered  a  second  time  from  fire.  The  loss 
of  $881.84  on  the  building  and  $1,225.56  on 
contents,  was  made  good  by  the  insurance 
companies. 

The  Physical  Laboratory  had  a  small  fire 
resulting  in  a  loss  of  $50,  in  June,  1898. 
The  loss  was  paid. 

The  Main  Medical  building  suffered  from 
fire  on  January  31,  1909.  Insurance  col- 
lected was  $3,774.96  on  the  building;  on 
contents,  $217.00. 

On  October  20,  1909.  the  Anatomical 
building  had  its  third  fire,  resulting  in  a 
loss  of  $8,167.00  on  building,  and  $$3,500 
on  contents — the  amount  agreed  upon  by 
the   adjustors — and   paid. 

On  December  24,  T909,  a  fire  in  Millard 
Hall  damaged  the  building  to  the  amount  of 
$20,830  and  $9,755-27  on  the  contents. 
These  were  the  sums  agreed  to  by  the 
adjusters  and  formed  the  basis  of  settle- 
ment. 

On  January  ist,  1912,  a  fire  caught  in 
one  of  the  partitions  of  the  Boiler  house 
and  damaged  the  building  and  contents  to 
the  amount  of  $1069.08 — the  amount  paid 
by  the  insurance  companies. 

On  February  14.  1913,  the  school  of 
mines  building  was  burned.  The  contents 
were  totally  destroyed;  the  walls  were  left 
in  fairly  good  condition  and  will  be  used 
again  when  the  building  will  be  remodeled 
for  the  college  of  education.  The  insur- 
ance collected  on  the  building  was  $26,936 
and   on    contents   was   $13,441.83. 

On  March  ist,  1912,  Millard  Hall  was, 
for  a  second  time,  seriously  injured  by  a 
fire  which  came  near  making  a  complete 
wreck  of  the  building.  Portions  of  the  wall 
were,  however,  saved.  The  insurance  col- 
lected on  the  building  was  $30,000  and  on 
contents  $13,000 — the  full  amount  for  which 
the  building  was  insured. 

In  March,  1912,  a  fire  was  discovered  in 
the  laboratory  of  the  attic  of  the  medical 
science  building.  The  damage  which  was 
principally  on  the  contents  was  estimated 
at  $2,681.47,  which  was  the  amount  received 
from    the    insurance    companies. 

Originally,  all  money  collected  from  in- 
surance was  used  by  the  regents  to  replace 
the  loss  occasioned  by  fire.  Later,  when 
the  Coliseum  burned,  the  state  auditor 
ruled  that  money  collected  on  buildings 
burned,  when  the  loss  was  complete,  must 
go  into  the  general  revenue  fund  of  the 
state  and  must  be  appropriated  to  the  in- 
stitution by  the  legislature.  This  rule  has 
not  always  been  followed  strictly,  but  it 
has  been  the  rule,  and  the  latest  case  in 
point    is    the    appropriation    of    the    $58,000 


insurance  collected  on  the  old  main  toward 
the  erection  of  Folwell  hall.  Information 
furnished   by   D.   W.   Sprague.

First  Building.  What  was  known  as  the 
"academy  building"  was  erected  in  1851, 
at  a  cost  of  approximately  $2,500,  by  pub- 
lic subscription.  The  building  had  two 
stories  with  high  basement  and  stood  30x50 
feet  on  the  ground.  The  building  was 
erected  on  ground  donated  by  Franklin 
Steele,  "being  that  part  of  the  green  set 
apart  for  public  purposes,  together  with 
six  lots  in  the  rear."  This  amounted  to 
about  four  acres  and  was  located  some- 
where between  what  is  now  known  as 
Central  and  First  avenues  and  University 
avenue  and  Second  street  southeast.  This 
land  was  never  formally  transferred  to  the 
University  and  was  finally  quit-claimed  by 
the  board  of  regents  in  1862  to  the  St. 
Anthony  water  power  company,  in  con- 
sideration of  the  surrender  by  the  said 
company  of  certain  notes  of  the  board  of 
regents  held  by  it.  These  notes,  with  in- 
terest amounted  to  $4,387.50.  The  build- 
ing was  sold  to  Franklin  Steele,  who  paid 
for  the  same  by  assuming  the  amount  of 
the  indebtedness  of  the  University  to  Paul 
R.  George,  incurred  by  the  purchase  of  the 
new  (part  of  the  present)  campus.  The 
building  practically  passed  out  of  the  hands 
of  the  regents  May  28th,  1856.  It  was  fin- 
ally burned  in  November  1864.  Picture  of 
this  building  may  be  found  in  Bromley's 
Minneapolis  Album  and  in  Forty  years  of 
the  L^niversity  of  Minnesota.

Fjedle  Relief  Figures,  upper  rotunda  of 
the   Library  building.     The  figures  in  relief 


THE  MINNESOTA

in  the  spandrels  of  the  arches  in  the  upper 
rotunda  of  the  Library  building  were  de- 
signed and  executed  by  Jacob  Fjelde,  a 
Norwegian  sculptor  of  distinguished  abil- 
ity, whose  home  was  for  some  years  in 
Minneapolis,  and  who  died  in  1896,  not 
long  after  the  work  in  the  Library  was 
completed.  Mr.  Fjelde's  work  was  of  so 
high  a  character  that  it  should  have  com- 
manded large  financial  rewards.  Had  it 
done  so,  the  University  might  not  have 
been  fortunate  enough  to  have  secured 
the  fine  examples  of  his  work  represented 
in  the  rotunda  series.  For  the  twenty- 
four  figures  but  $25  each  was  paid.  They 
are  easily  worth  many  times  that  amount. 
Beginning  at  the  left  of  the  stairs  as  one 
ascends,    the    figures    represent: 

I.  Architecture;  2.  Sculpture;  3,  Tragedy; 
4,  Comedy;  5,  Archaeology;  6,  Ethnology; 
7,  Medicine;  8,  Justice;  9,  Microscopy;  10,

Flag  Pole.  The  pole  is  a  magnificent 
specimen  of  Puget  sound  fir  tree  and  the 
gift  of  Messrs.  Lewis  Schwager,  '95,  Law, 
'96.  and  Walter  Nettleton,  ex-'oo,  of  Seat- 
tle, Washington.  The  pole  is  six  inches  in 
diameter  at  the  top  and  slightly  over  two 
feet  at  the  base  and  stands  one  hundred 
fifty  feet  clear  of  the  ground.  The  pole 
had  to  be  shipped  in  two  pieces  and  splic- 
ing it  caused  a  loss  of  six  or  eight  feet. 
The  pole  is  set  in  a  bed  of  solid  concrete 
extending   twelve    feet   below    the    surface.

Folwell,  William  Watts.  An  address 
made  by  W.  F.  Webster,  '86,  at  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion held  February  14,  1913,  Dr.  Folwell's 
8oth  birthday.  Printed  in  the  Minnesota 
Alumni  Weekly  of  February  17,  1913. 

Folwell  Birthday  Celebration.  The  alumni 
made  February  14,  191 1,  Dr.  Folwell's  sev- 
enty-eighth birthday,  an  occasion  for  a 
special  celebration.  Dr.  Folwell,  who  was 
spending  the  winter  in  Washington,  was 
guest  of  honor  of  the  Washington  alurnni 
for  that  evening  and  was  presented  with 
an  engrossed  address  from  the  General 
Alumni  Association  and  five  hundred  let- 
ters from  as  many  alumni,  congratulating 
him  upon  his  birthday  and  recalling  some 
happy  incident  of  the  writer's  relations 
with  Dr.  Folwell  and  wishing  him  many 
happy  returns  of  the  day.  In  addition  the 
class  of  1907  presented  Dr.  Folwell  a 
bronze  medallion  on  that  occasion  and 
both  houses  of  the  legislature  passed  reso- 
lutions congratulating  Dr.  Folwell  and  ex- 
tending an  expression  of  good  will  on  be- 
half of  the  people  of  the  state.  Announce- 
ment was  also  made  at  this  meeting  of  the 
plan  to  place  a  tablet  in  honor  of  Dr.  Fol- 
well   in    Folwell    hall.      Later,    the    letters

Folwell  Hall.  Named  in  honor  of  Dr. 
William  Watts  Folwell,  first  president  of 
the  University.  The  legislature  of  1905 
made  an  appropriation  of  $350,000  for  the 
erection  of  this  building.  It  was  also 
agreed  that  the  insurance  received  from 
the  "old  main"  should  be  used  to  help 
erect  and  equip  this  building.  This  action 
added  $65,000  making  the  amount  available 
$415,000.  The  building  faces  University 
avenue  and  stands  back  about  forty  feet 
from  the  sidewalk,  extending  from  15th  to 
16th.  avenues.  The  building  is  fire-proof 
throughout  and  is  constructed  of  brick, 
terra  cotta  made  in  imitation  of  granite, 
with  cut  granite  used  for  foundation  and 
basement.  Concrete  is  used  for  floors  and 
some  walls,  and  tiling  for  the  balance  of 
the  walls.  The  wood  work  is  oak,  stained 
dark  and  the  furniture  is  mission  style 
throughout.  The  hall  of  the  main  floor  is 
lined  throughout  with  a  very  fine  grade  of 


marble.  The  building  is  322x80  feet  and 
provides  about  90,000  square  feet  of  floor 
space.  It  has  three  stories  above  the 
basement  and  provides  for  the  depart- 
ments of  anatomy,  French,  German,  Greek, 
Latin,  mathematics,  oratory,  philosophy, 
philology,  rhetoric,  Scandinavian,  sociol- 
ogy, Spanish.  In  addition  to  the  full 
equipment  of  classrooms,  offices,  studies, 
seminars,  museums,  etc.  for  the  depart- 
ments above  mentioned,  the  building  con- 
tains the  office  of  the  deans  of  the  col- 
lege of  science,  literature  and  the  arts,  and 
the  college  of  education;  offices  for  the 
various  University  publications;  for  the 
literary  societies;  study  rooms  for  men 
and  women;  a  faculty  parlor;  janitors' 
rooms,  toilet  rooms,  work  rooms,  etc.  Work 
on  basement  was  begun  in  the  fall  of  1905 
and  the  building  was  completed  and  occu- 
pied in  September,   1907. 

Folwell  Tablet.  The  tablet  placed  in 
Folwell  Hall  by  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation of  the  University  was  dedicated 
June  7,  1911.  The  tablet  is  of  bronze  and 
was  manufactured  by  the  American  Orna- 
mental Iron  and  Bronze  Co.,  after  a  de- 
sign suggested  by  the  officers  of  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Association.  The  bas-relief 
of  Dr.  Folwell  which  appears  in  the  upper 
part  of  the  tablet  was  made  by  Charles 
S.  Wells  of  this  city.     The  cut  of  the  tab-

Foot  ball.  This  publication  was  issued 
during  the  fall  of  1899,  the  first  issue  com- 
ing out  October  17,  the  last  issue  being 
that  of  November  24th.  It  was  started  for 
the  express  purpose  of  arousing  interest  in 
football  and  to  support  the  team.  This 
publication  was  the  direct  forerunner  of 
the  Minnesota  Daily  which  was  started  in 
the  spring  of  the  following  year.

Fruit  Breeding  Farm.  This  farm  was 
purchased  by  the  regents  July  20,  1907, 
pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  chapter  334 
of  the  laws  of  1907.  The  farm  was  pur- 
chased of  Daniel  Fink  for  $105  per  acre, 
there  being  77.89  acres,  the  purchase  price 
was  $8,178.45.  The  land  lies  in  section  7, 
of  township  116,  range  23  West  (Carver 
county). 

This  station  was  established  for  the  ex- 
press purpose  of  breeding  hardy  fruit  trees 
for  Minnesota.  Some  15,000  plum  and  apple 
seedlings  have  been  transferred  from  the 
main  station  to  this  station.  Thousands  of 
crosses  have  been  made  under  glass  and 
their  seedlings  planted  in  the  field,  prom- 
ising results  having  been  secured.  Thou- 
sands of  seedling  strawberries,  raspber- 
ries and  grapes  have  fruited;  among  these 
seedling  grapes  is  one  that  is  said  to  be 
hardier  and  of  better  quality  than  Beta. 
These  seedlings  will  be  available  for  the 
people  of  the  state  as  soon  as  they  demon-

General  Alumni  Association.  Movement 
started  at  commencement  time  in  1900. 
Constitution  adopted  January  30th,  1904. 
Membership  composed  of  graduates  of  all 
departments   of   the   University.     Any   ma-

ALUMNI  WEEKLY 


triculate  of  the  University,  who  has  not 
graduated  is  entitled  to  associate  member- 
ship, and  any  member,  or  ex-member,  of 
the  teaching  or  governing  staff  of  the  Uni- 
versity is  entitled  to  honorary  membership 
in  this  association.  Life  membership  fee 
is  $10.  Annual  dues  for  those  not  life 
members,  50  cents.  The  object  of  this  as- 
sociation is  the  promotion  of  the  welfare 
of  the  University  in  any  way  possible  and 
to  keep  the  alumni  in  touch  with  their  alma 
mater  and  with  each  other  through  the  of- 
ficial organ  of  the  association,  the  Minne- 
sota Alumni  Weekly;  the  furnishing  of 
such  specific  information  as  may  be  sought 
by  any  graduate  or  former  matriculate  of 
the  University,  in  connection  with  the  Uni- 
versity or  any  of  its  organizations;  the 
disbursing  of  contributions  made  for  spe- 
cific objects  connected  with  the  University; 
and  the  maintenance  of  a  list  of  the  names 
and  addresses  of  all  graduates  and  former 
matriculates  of  the  University.  The  af- 
fairs of  the  association  are  managed  by  a 
board  of  directors,  made  up  of  two  repre- 
sentatives elected  from  each  college  alumni 


by  making  it  a  center  whence  should  rad- 
iate information  concerning  the  natural 
features  of  the  state,  and  toward  which 
should  gravitate  all  collections  of  natural 
history  that  should  otherwise  be  brought 
to  light."  The  act  creating  this  survey 
was  approved  March  ist,  1872.  and  carried 
an  appropriation  of  $1,000  annually  for  the 
prosecution  of  the  work  of  the  survey.  On 
the  lOth  of  the  following  March,  1873,  an 
act  amending  the  act  creating  the  survey 
was  passed.  This  act  increased  the  an- 
nual appropriation  to  $2,000  and  gave  the 
regents  custody  and  control,  and  power  to 
sell  certain  lands  granted  to  the  state 
of  Minnesota  by  the  national  government 
to  aid  in  developing  the  brines  of  the 
state.  See  "Salt  spring  lands."  This  act 
also  appropriated  $500  for  the  purchase  of 
apparatus  to  equip  a  laboratory  for  the 
survey.  The  regents  have  received  cash 
appropriations  from  the  state,  for  prose- 
cuting the  work  of  the  survey  to  the 
amount  of  $50,000.  The  sale  of  salt  spring 
lands  has  netted  above  three  hundred

association  are  ordinarily  two — the  annual 
business  meeting  held  on  the  anniversary 
of  the  founding  of  the  University,  Febru- 
ary i8th,  and  the  annual  picnic  on  alumni 
day  of  commencement  week.  The  associa- 
tion employs  a  secretary  to  give  his  whole 
time  to  the  work  of  the  association.  The 
officers  are  Henry  F.  Nachtrieb,  '82,  presi-

Geological  and  Natural  History  Survey 
of  the  State,  ^^■]lilc  this  survey  is  not 
technically  a  part  of  the  University,  it  is 
so  closely  identified  with  the  University 
departments  of  animal  biology,  botany  and 
geology  that  its  work  is  practically  identi- 
fied with  the  work  of  the  University.  To 
quote  from  the  state  geologist,  in  one  of 
his  early  reports,  "There  is  no  question  but 
one  of  the  prime  motives  of  the  law  (creat- 
ing this  survey)  was  to  introduce  another 
auxiliary    force    into    the    State    university, 


are  still  4625.64  acres  left  unsold,  and,  it 
is  claimed  by  the  regents,  that  1 149.4  acres 
are  due  the  state  from  the  National  Gov- 
ernment. 

The  geological  survey  was  naturally  the 
first  line  to  be  started  and  prosecuted  with 
vigor  and  this  survey  was  brought  to  such 
a  point  that  tTie  regents  thought  wise  to 
discontinue  further  work,  for  the  time  be- 
ing, December  ist,   1900. 

The  State  Geologist  has  published  re- 
ports as  follows:  Twenty-four  annual  re-

The  work  of  the  geological  survey  was 
done  under  the  direction  of  Professor  New- 
ton H.  Winchell  who  was  state  geologist 
down  to  1900,  when  this  line  of  work  was 
discontinued. 

The  legislature  of  191 1  appropriated  $13,- 
000  for  the  ensuing  biennial  period  to  re- 
vive the  work  of  the  geological  survey. 
Professor  W.  H.  Emmons,  head  of  the 
L'niversity  department  of  geology,  was 
made  director,  and  the  actual  work  of  the 
survey  was  begun  early  in  1912.  The  work 
is  carried  along  in  co-operation  with  the 
U.  S.  Survey  and  in  co-operation  with  the 
School  of  Mines  experiment  station  and  the 
school  of  chemistry.  The  State  drainage 
commission  is  also  ready  to  co-operate  with 
the  work  of  this  branch.  The  lines  of  work 
already  undertaken  are,  a  survey  of  the 
four  quadrangles  in  the  western  part  of  the 
state;  Minnesota  clays;  Minnesota  building 
stones;  Surface  formation  of  Minnesota, 
with  special  reference  to  soils;  Road  ma-

Goodale  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  con- 
struction of  the  old  main  building,  away 
back  in  the  seventies,  and  it  is  said  that 
this  building  was  one  of  the  best  con- 
structed on  the  campus.  In  later  years  he 
became  demented,  and  spent  most  of  his 
time  wandering  about  the  city  telling  his 
"story"  to  anyone  who  would  listen.  The 
campus  was  one  of  his  favorite  haunts,  and 
the  old  gentleman,  surrounded  by  a  group 
of  students  listening  to  his  "story,"  was  a 
familiar  sight  on  the  campus  for  many 
years.     Mr.  Goodale  died   May  8,  1907.

nuals of  similar  character,  deals  with  uni- 
versity life  from  the  student  standpoint.  It 
chronicles  the  progress  of  the  university 
and  the  various  societies  and  organizations,, 
the  serious  and  valuable  work  being  done 
b)'  student  organizations,  and  includes  hu- 
morous hits  at  various  members  of  the  stu-

al open  to  all  bachelors  of  arts,  of  science, 
pure  and  applied,  and  of  law^s,  from  repu- 
table colleges  and  universities  having 
courses  substantially  equivalent  to  those 
at   this   University. 

]\lore  or  less  graduate  work  has  been 
provided  from  the  very  beginning-  of  the 
University,  and  there  has  been  an  informal 
organization  of  the  graduate  work  of  the 
University  into  a  graduate  department,  but 
its  formal  organization  and  recognition  did 
not  come  until  the  meeting  of  the  board  of 
regents,  held  December  I2th,  1905.  Dr. 
Henry  T.  Eddy  was  elected  dean  at  that 
time.  The  Graduate  School  embraces  all 
the  work  of  all  departments  offering  grad- 
uate work  and  its  faculty  consists  of  all 
persons  giving  instruction  to  graduate  stu- 
dents. 

Following  the  resignation  of  Dean  Eddy, 
Professor  John  Zeleny  became  acting  dean 
for  the  year  1912-13.  In  June,  1913,  Pro- 
fessor Guy  Stanton  Ford,  of  the  depart- 
ment of  history,  was  elected  dean.  The 
dean  is  assisted  in  the  administration  of 
the  graduate  school  by  an  executive  com- 
mittee. 

The  only  fellowships  granted  are  the 
four  Shevlin  fellowships  of  $500  each  and 
the  Howard  Scholarship.  In  many  depart- 
ments appointments  as  research  assistants 
enable  qualified  students  to  enter  the  grad- 
uate school  and  do  at  least  part  time  work 
toward  a  degree.  The  requirements  for 
advanced  degrees  are  the  same  as  those 
maintained  by  other  members  of  the  Amer- 
ican  Association   of  Universities.

Greater    Campus    Development      Plans — 

In  the  spring  of  1908  the  Regents,  desir- 
ing to  obtain  a  general  plan  for  the  de- 
velopment of  the  University  grounds  and 
buildings,  instituted  a  competition  in  or- 
der to  select  an  architect  to  prepart  a 
plan  for  such  development.  A  prize  of 
$1,000  was  offered  to  the  architect  who 
would  submit  three  plans,  one  showing  a 
general  plan  of  grounds  and  buildings, 
the  second  a  section  taken  in  any  direc- 
tion, at  the  option  of  the  competitor,  and 
the  third  a  bird's  eye  perspective.  Plans 
were  submitted  by  some  of  the  leading 
architects  of  the  country  and  a  commis- 
sion appointed  by  the  Regents  awarded 
the  prize  to  Cass  Gilbert.  The  original 
plans,  of  course,  while  comprehensive 
were  only  very  general  and  the  Regents 
entered  into  negotiations  with  Mr.  Gilbert 
to  secure  definite  and  workable  plans  for 
carrying  out  his  ideas  for  campus  devel- 
opment. Mr.  Gilbert  finally  consented  to 
do  the  work  for  $10,000.  The  Regents 
contributed  $4,500  of  this  amount  and 
Messrs.  L.  S.  Gillette  and  F.  W.  Clifford 
contributed  $5500  the  balance  needed. 
Later  the  Regents  voted  to  refund  this 
amount  to  Messrs.  Gillette  and  Cliflford. 
Detailed  plans;  and  specifications  were 
then  provided  by  Mr.  Gilbert  and  on 
recommendation     of  the  Board  of  Regents 


were  approved  and  adopted  in  a  general 
way  by  the  legislature  of  1909.  The  loca-

since  made  on  the  campus  have  been  in 
general  compliance  with  the  plans 
adopted.  Reproductions  of  these  plans

High  School  Board.  Act  creating  this 
board  was  approved  March,  1878.  Legally 
and  technically  this  board  has  no  connec-

the  fact  that  the  president  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  ex-officio  a  member  of  the  board,  it

THE  MINNESOTA 


has  practically  been  very  closely  identified 
with  the  growth  and  development  of  the 
University.  The  act  creating  the  board  is 
to  be  credited  directly  to  Dr.  Folvvell,  who 
was  then  president  of  the  University.  The 
act  creating  the  board  has  been  amended 
many  times  but  its  essential  features  re- 
main the  same  and  these  features  are — an 
inspection  of  the  schools,  both  high  and 
graded,  by  a  person  appointed  to  that  duty, 
or,  by  an  examination  of  its  pupils,  or, 
both;  by  state  financial  aid  to  high  school 
and  graded  schools.  This  act  gave  Minne- 
sota one  of  the  best  school  systems  in  the 
country.  It  unified  and  simplified  and  so 
made  more  efficient  the  whole  system  from 
the   kindergarten   to   the    University.

of  the  common  interests  of  the  young

Homeopathic  Medicine  and  Surgery, 
The  College  of.  For  general  statement  of 
the  organization  and  history  of  the  de- 
partment of  medicine  see  statement  under 
the  college  of  medicine  and  surgery. 

This  college  is  the  direct  and  lineal  de- 
scendant of  the  Minnesota  homeopathic 
medical  college  which  was  established  in 
1886.  The  old  college  ceased  to  exist  and 
the  new  one  came  into  existence  by  the 
acceptance,  by  the  board  of  regents  of  the 
University,  of  the  proposition  of  the  trus- 
tees of  the  Minnesota  college,  to  surren- 
der the  charter  of  that  institution  and  to 
become  merged  in  the  department  of  med- 
icine which  was  then  being  formed.  The 
college  faculty  was  appointed  in  the  spring 
of  1888  and  instruction  was  begun  in  the 
fall,  with  Dr.  H.  W.  Brazie,  as  secretary 
of   the   faculty  and    Dr.    Perry    H.    Millard,

as  dean  of  the  department.  In  the  fall  of 
1892,  this  college,  together  with  the  others, 
constituting  the  department  removed  to 
the  University  campus,  the  w^ork  having 
been  previously  conducted  in  the  building 
now  occupied  by  the  Asbury  hospital,  on 
the  corner  of  Ninth  avenue  south  and 
Sixth  street.  With  the  removal  to  the 
campus,  this  college  was  made  more  inde- 
pendent in  the  government  of  its  affairs 
and  Dr.  Brazie  was  made  dean.  The 
work  was  carried  along  without  special  in- 
cident until  1893,  when  Dr.  Alonzo  P. 
Williamson  became  dean,  in  place  of  Dr. 
Brazie,  resigned.  Dr.  Williamson  contin- 
ued as  dean  until  igp3,  when  he  resigned 
and  Dr.  Eugene  L.  Mann  was  elected  in 
his  place.  The  college,  as  first  organized, 
provided  a  course  of  three  years,  which 
was  increased  to  a  four-year  course  in 
1895.  This  college  increased  its  en- 
trance requirements,  at  various  times,  un- 
til it  finally  required  two  full  years  of  col- 
lege work  for  admission.  In  1903,  the  at- 
tendance fell  ofif  so  that  a  proposition  was 
made  to  abolish  the  college  altogether, 
providing  for  the  work  of  the  college  by 
the  creation  of  two  professorships,  one  in 
the  homeopathic  materia  medica  and  one 
in  therapeutics.  The  movement  failed 
and  the  college  continued  as  it  had  before, 
to  furnish  a  full  college  course  in  homeo- 
pathic medicine  and  surgery.  The  work 
in  anatomy,  physiology,  histology,  chern- 
istry  and  bacteriology  being  pursued  in 
common  with  the  other  students  of  the  de- 
partment. The  legislature  of  I9p0  appro- 
priated $50,000  for  a  building  for  this  col- 
lege. The  Regents  declined  to  erect  the 
building  and  voted,  at  the  May  meeting  of 
the  same  year,  to  abolish  the  college.  At 
the  same  time  the  Regents  created  a  chair 
of  homeopathic  materia  medica  and  an- 
other of  homeopathic  therapeutics,  making 
these  courses  optional  to  any  student  in 
the  college  of  medicine  and  surgery. 
There  being  no  demand  for  this  work 
these  chairs  were  afterward,  in  1911, 
abolished.  During  the  course  of  its  exist- 
ence this  college  graduated  78  men  and  15 
women.

Hospitals. — In  the  past  the  several  pub- 
lic and  private  hospitals  of  the  Twin  Cit- 
ies have  generously  welcomed  to  their 
wards  and  amphitheatres  the  clinicians 
and  students  of  The  Medical  School;  but 
with  the  attainment  of  The  University 
Hospitals,  owned  and  controlled  by  the 
State,  the  school  is  able  to  confine  its 
clinics  to  its  own  field  and  to  the  City  hos- 
pital of  Minneapolis,  and  the  City  and 
County  hospital  of  St.  Paul. 

The  Minneapolis  City  hospital  has  a 
present  capacity  of  360  and  a  projected 
capacity  of  700  beds.  It  has  a  large  pa- 
vilion for  contagious  diseases,  in  general, 
while  Hopewell  hospital,  on  the  outskirts 
of  the  cit}',  is  devoted,  with  its  120  beds, 
to  the  care  of  tuberculous  patients.  The 
authorities  have  recently  entered  into  an 
arrangement  with  the  University  by  which 
one-half  of  the  City  hospital  patients, 
throughout  the  entire  year,  are  placed  in 
the  care  of  a  staflf  nominated  by  the  med- 
ical school,  which  becomes  responsible 
for  their  treatment  and  conducts  the  teach- 
ing clinics. 

Negotiations  are  pending  for  a  similar 
University  service  at  the  City  and  County 
hospital,  in  St.  Paul.  This.  the  largest 
institution  of  its  kind  in  the  Northwest, 
has  616  beds.  Its  present  staff  includes 
members  of  the  faculty  of  the  medical 
school  and  its  clinics  are  open  to  students. 
The  orthopedic  department  is  in  charge 
of  the  professor  of  orthopedic  surgery  in 
this    school. 

Hospital  Service  Building.  The  legisla- 
ture of  1913  provided  $50,000  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  hospital  service  building 
which  is  to  be  erected  just  west  of  Elliot 
memorial  hospital  and  connected  with  it 
by  a   covered  passage.

Indoor  Athletic  Meet.  This  meet  has 
been  an  annual  affair  since  1898. 
Industrial  Contests,  Rural  School  Work. 
Since  1910  two  men  have  given  the  greater 
part  of  their  time  to  the  organization  of 
industrial  contests  in  rural  schools  in 
Minnesota.  These  contests  have  been 
conducted  in  about  40  counties  and  ap- 
proximately 15,000  boys  and  girls  have 
taken  part  in  the  various  contests.  The 
contests  include  sewing,  baking,  manual 
training,  and  the  growing  of  grain,  corn, 
and  vegetables.  An  acre-yield  contest 
with  about  1,300  competitors  was  or- 
ganized. In  co-operation  with  the  St. 
Paul  Dispatch  an  acre-yield  potato  con- 
test was  conducted  in  ten  counties  with 
1,000  boys  and  girls  participating.  In  co- 
operation with  the  Minneapolis  Tribune  a 
similar  contest  in  tomato  .growing  and 
canning  was  carried  through  in  eleven 
different  localities,  enlisting  the  interest 
of  more  than  1,000  girls.  An  important 
feature  of  the  industrial  contests  has  been 
the  introduction  of  prizes  for  booklets  pre- 
pared in  rural  schools  on  selected  agricul- 
tural topics.  The  extension  division  is 
also  to  be  credited  with  inaugurating  the 
plan  of  providing  warm  lunches  for  those 
who  attend  rural  schools.  This  plan  lias 
been  adopted  by  a  number  of  rural 
schools,  and  ofifers  an  opportunity  for  ele- 
mentary instruction  in  domestic  science. 
More  than  twenty  schools  report  very  sat- 
isfactory results.

Institute  of   Anatomy   is  one  of  the  two 

new  laboratory  buildings  devoted  to  med- 
ical teaching.  It  provides  quarters  for  the 
departments  of  anatomy  and  obstetrics. 
It  was  completed  so  far  as  to  permit  of  its 
occupancy  in  the  fall  of  1912,  but  its  equip- 
ment is  not  yet  fully  finished.  The  appro- 
priations for  this  and  its  sister  building, 
The  New  Millard  Hall,  were  made  by  the 
legislatures  of  1909  and  191 1.  The  cost 
of  construction  has  been  $243,000,  and  the 
equipment  will  aggregate  $67,000.  The 
building  has  a  sub-basement  in  which  the 
machinery  of  refrigeration  and  cold  stor- 
age   is    housed;    a    i^asement    in      which    a 


modern  system  of  mechanical  ventilation 
and  air  filtration  is  placed  and  where 
store-rooms,  preparation-rooms,  etc.,  are 
provided;  and  three  main  stories  devoted 
to  laboratories,  class-rooms  and  research 
rooms.  A  bay,  extending  to  the  basement 
and  first  floor,  provides  for  a  large  and 
well-lighted  auditorium,  designed  to  seat 
some  225  persons.  A  roof-house  partially 
covers  the  upper  floor  slab,  in  which  fur- 
ther ventilating  machinery,  animal  enclo- 
sures, etc.,  are  placed.  The  building  has 
a  floor  area  of  63,136  square  feet.  It  is, 
perhaps,  as  complete  a  laboratory  building 
of  its  type  as  may  be  found  in  America. 
Institute  of  Public  Health  and  Pathol- 
ogy is  situated  on  the  old  campus  and  is 
one  building  remaining  there  that  is  de- 
voted to  medical  teaching.  It  was  built 
in    i9o6-'o7,    at   a   cost      of     $100,000,     with 


60x100  feet,  with  north  and  south  wings 
56x75  feet  each. 

In  the  south  wing  the  laboratory  and 
epidemiological  divisions  of  the  State 
Board  of  Health  are  housed.  A  suite  of 
rooms  is  devoted  to  the  Pasteur  Institute, 
in  which  researches  in  rabies  are  pursued 
and  a  special  treatment  of  patients  bitten 
by  rabid  animals  is  undertaken.  Diag- 
nostic laboratories  are  provided  for  the 
bacteriological,  chemical  and  pathological 
work  of  the  State  Board  of  Health.  Re- 
search laboratories  for  members  of  the 
medical  faculty,  offices  for  the  clerical 
force,  vaults  for  records,  unpacking,  ship- 
ping, storage,  washing  and  media  rooms 
also  occupy  this  wing. 

The  remainder  of  the  building  provides 
for  teaching  and  research  work  in  the 
University  departments  of  pathology,  bac- 
teriology and   public  health. 

The  central  portion  of  the  building, 
three  stories  in  front  and  four  in  the  rear, 
has  a  part  of  three  stories  devoted  to  mu- 
seum and  library  purposes.  In  a  three- 
deck  room,  the  department  library  and  a 
large  collection  of  pathological  and  bac- 
teriological specimens  are  available  to 
faculty  and  students.  On  the  first  floor 
is  a  preparation  room  immediately  beneath 
the  museum  and  adjacent  to  the  amphi- 
theatre and  autopsy  room.  Six  special 
laboratories  and  offices  are  provided  on 
this  floor  for  members  of  the  staff.  The 
remainder  of  the  central  body  of  the  build- 
ing is  occupied  by  the  amphitheatre,  fitted 
for  lectures,  projection  work,  and  the 
conduct  of  autopsies,  and  by  special  re- 
search laboratories,  photographic  rooms, 
and  a  cold  storage  plant. 

In  the  north  wing  the  main  teaching  lab- 
oratory occupies  a  floor  space  75x56  teet, 
lighted  on  three  sides  and  by  sky-light,  di- 
vided by  means  of  low  partitions  and  12 
loges,  each  devoted  to  the  use  of  a  group 
of  students.  Each  loge  is  equipped  with 
apparatus  and  supplies  for  practical  work 
in  pathology,  bacteriology  and  public 
health.     On   the  floor  below  is  a   student's 


added  appropriations  of  $25,000  for  the 
University,  and  $5,000  for  the  State  Board 
of  Health  equipment.  The  building,  which 
is  213  feet  over  all  and  100  feet  deep  in 
its  central  portion,  consists  of  a  main  body 


research  laboratory,  containing  6  loges, 
used  for  the  teaching  of  special  courses  in 
pathology  of  tumors,  neuro-pathology, 
practical  sanitation,  etc.  Other  special 
laboratories,     rooms     for    the      preparation

Intercollegiate  Conference  Athletic  As- 
sociation. This  conference,  which  includes 
the  Universities  of  Chicago,  Illinois,  Mich- 
igan, Minnesota,  Northwestern,  Purdue, 
Wisconsin,  Indiana,  and  Iowa,  grew  out 
of  a  meeting  of  the  presidents  of  seven 
universities  of  the  Middle  West,  held  in 
Chicago,  on  January  11,  1895,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  considering  the  regulation  of  in- 
tercollegiate athletics.  The  first  meeting 
of  the  present  Conference  was  held  Feb- 
ruary 8,  1896.  At  that  time  it  included  all 
the  universities  named  above  except  Iowa 
and  Indiana  which  were  afterwards  ad- 
mitted. Michigan  withdrew  from  the 
Conference  January  14,  1903,  and  Ohio 
State  University  was  admitted  to  the  Con- 
ference  in    1912. 

The  Conference  has  no  written  consti- 
tution, but  is  governed  by  precedent  and 
by  various  rules  and  resolutions  passed 
from  time  to  time.  The  annual  meeting  is 
held  in  Chicago  at  the  close  of  Thanksgiv- 
ing week,  and  other  meetings  are  called 
from  time  to  time. 

A  majority  vote  of  the  representatives  is 
sufficient  to  pass  any  measure.  All  meas- 
ures must  be  submitted  to  the  faculties  of 
the  constituent  members  for  approval.  If 
any  faculty  rejects  any  measure  within 
sixty  days,  that  measure  must  be  recon- 
sidered at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Con- 
ference. If  it  again  passes  by  a  majority 
vote  it  becomes  a  Conference  rule,  non- 
observance  of  which  results  in  suspension 
of  the  institution  failing  to  observe  the 
rule. 

The  Conference  has  three  standing  com- 
mittees, on  eligibility,  on  colleges,  and  on 
officials.  See  Conference  Code,  published 
by  the  Intercollegiate  Conference  Ath- 
letic Association  in  1912. 

Inter  Fraternity  Council.  The  Inter 
Fraternity  Council  is  the  outgrowth  of  a 
feeling  that  certain  evils  had  grown  up 
around  fraternity  life  in  the  institution  and 
that  these  evils  ought  to  be  eradicated  by 
the  fraternities  themselves.  A  commit- 
tee was  appointed  by  President  Northrop 
which  made  a  report  which  was  printed 
in  full  in  the  Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly  of 
October  29,  1909.  This  report  embodied 
the  conclusions  of  the  committee  after 
visiting  several  leading  western  institu- 
tions and  studying  the  fraternity  question 
at  those  institutions.  The  evils  were  re- 
ported under  three  heads — low  scholarship, 
excess  of  social  indulgence,  lack  of  demo- 
cratic spirit  and  healthy  interest  in  Uni- 
versity affairs.  The  committee  reported  a 
form  of  inter-fraternity  organization  which 
should  be  binding  upon  all  fraternities. 
The  _  fraternities  agreed  to  this  with  the 
proviso  that  the  regents  should  demand 
that  all  fraternities  live  up  to  the  consti- 
tution   which    was    adopted    in      February, 


1910.  The  organization  has  been  main- 
tained and  definite  and  persistent  effort 
has  been  made  to  improve  fraternity  con- 
ditions at  the  University.  The  latest  re- 
port of  the  president  of  the  council,  who 
is  a  member  of  the  faculty  and  whose  elec- 
tion must  be  approved  by  the  board  of 
regents,  indicates  that  substantial  pro- 
gress has  been  made  and  that  conditions 
are  not  only  improved  but  are  still  im- 
proving. See  report  published  in  Presi- 
dent's report  of  1911-12. 

Inter-Society  Debates.  The  action  of 
the  federated  literary  societies,  in  1896, 
looking  toward  better  provision  and  sup- 
port for  intercollegiate,  and  intersociety 
debate,  resulted  in  the  formation  of  the 
league  of  the  five  members  of  the  federated 
societies,  which  then  included  the  Forum, 
Delta  Sigma,  Minerva,  Law  Literary  and 
Shakopean.  In  1897,  the  Castalians  came 
into  the  league  and  Minerva  won  the 
championship,  having  defeated  the  Delta 
Sigmas  and  Castalians.  In  1898,  Minerva 
dropped  out  and  Kent  came  into  the 
league,  and  won  the  championship.  In 
1899,  Minerva  came  back  and  the  Hermean 
was  also  admitted,  and  this  year  the  Sha- 
kopeans  and  Kents  proved  to  be  the  lead- 
ers. In  1900,  Blackstones  came  into  the 
league  and  in  the  finals  the  Shakopeans 
won  from  th  Forums  and  so  held  the 
championship.  In  1901,  the  same  teams 
competed  as  in  1900  and  the  Forums  lead 
with  Minerva  a  close  second  in  the  finals. 
In  igp2,  the  Law  Literary  society  fought 
its  way  to  victory  in  the  finals,  defeating 
the  Kents,  the  Minervas  and  Castalians.  In 
190^  by  the  Shakopeans;  in  1904,  by  the 
Shakopeans;  in  1905,  by  the  Forum;  in 
1906,  by  the  Forums;  in  1907,  by  the  Law 
Literaries.  In  this  contest  the  Minervas 
were  in  the  finals. 

The  victories  of  later  years  have  gone 
as  follows:  1908.  Shakopeans;  1909,  Sha- 
kopeans; 1910,  Castalians;  1911,  Forums; 
1912,  Forums;  1913,  Forums — won  for  the 
third  successive  time  and  so  secured  per- 
manent possession  of   the  Jacobs  cup.

Itasca     Forestry     Experiment       Station. 

This  station  was  established  in  accordance 
with  law  which  required  the  co-operation 
of  the  state  forestry  board  with  the  Uni- 
versity college  of  forestry.  The  Univer- 
sity owns  no  land  at  this  place,  but  has 
fourteen  buildings  located  on  the  Itasca 
forest  reserve.  These  buildings  are  all 
log  buildings  and  were  constructed  by  the 
men  and  boys  connected  with  the  forestry 
school  and  are  worth  many  times  what 
they  cost.  The  total  expense  of  the  build- 
ings was  $5,125.  The  buildings  include 
four  cottages  with  a  large  bunk  house,  a 
dining  hall,  a  library,  a  lecture  hall, 
kitchen,  ice,  boat  and  pump  houses,  barn 
and  shops.  This  station  is  utilized  chiefly 
in  connection  with  a  summer  course  in 
the  college  of  forestry  and  the  experimen- 
tal work  is  carried  on  in  co-operation  with 
the  state  forestry  board.  Junior  students 
in  the  college  of  forestry  are  required  to 
spend  the  summer  following  their  junior 
year  at  this  station,  where  they  are  given 
practical  field  work  to  supplement  the  the- 
oretical work  of  the  classroom.

winner  of  the  inter-society  series  of  de- 
bates each  year.  It  is  provided  that  any 
society  which  wins  this  cup,  three  times 
in  succession,  shall  become  its  permanent 
owner.  Twice  has  it  been  won  two  years 
in  succession,  by  the  Shakopeans  in  1903- 
4,  and  by  the  Forums  in  1904-5.  The  cup 
was  first  won  by  the  Shakopeans  in  1900.

Law  Building.;  Completed  in  1889  at 
cost  of  $30,000.  It  is  built  of  red  brick 
with  red  sandstone  trimmings  and  has  a 
frontage  of  eighty  feet,  with  a  floor  space 
of  nineteen  thousand  square  feet.  It  con- 
tains the  office  of  the  dean,  the  library,  a 
large  lecture  room  and  several  smaller 
recitation  and  lecture  rooms.  An  addition 
to  this  building  was  erected  in  1904  at  a 
cost  of  $28,000,  which  nearly  doubled  the 
capacity  of  the  building. 

The  re-constructed  building  provides  for 
the  housing  of  all  the  work  of  the  law 
school.  The  entire  upper  floor  story  is  de-

which  is  high,  rooms  are  provided  for  stu-

few  inferior  courts;  all  the  reports  of  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court,  and  all  the 
Federal  Court  reports.  It  contains  also 
the  digest  of  these  reports  and  an  excel- 
lent selection  of  standard  text-books,  en- 
cyclopaedias  and   law  dictionaries. 

Law  Literary  Society,  The.  Organized 
during  the  first  year  of  the  existence  of 
the  college  of  law. 

Law  Loan  Fund.  The  alumni  of  the 
college  of  law  undertook  to  raise  a  fund  of 
$10,000,  to  be  used  imder  the  direction  of 
the  faculty  of  the  college  of  law  to  loan 
to  students  needing  assistance  during  their 
college  course. 

Law,  School  of.  This  department  of 
the  University  was  provided  for  in  the  or- 
iginal charter  of  the  University,  but  it 
was  not  until  18S8  that  it  was  organized 
under  the  title  of  the  college  of  law.  The 
work  of  instruction  began  in  September 
of  the  same  year  under  the  direction  of 
William  S.  Pattee,  who  had  been  elected 
dean.  There  were  twenty-seven  students 
present  on  the  first  day.  The  first  year  of 
the  college's  existence  was  spent  in  the 
Hermean  room  in  the  basement  of  the 
Old  Main  building,  but  in  the  summer  of 
1889  a  new  building  was  erected,  which 
was  occupied  in  October,  1889.  The 
growth  of  the  college  was  very  rapid,  so 
that  enlarged  accommodations  became 
necessary.     Accordingly   in    1904-05   a   large 


addition  was  Iniilt  in  the  rear  of  the  old 
building. 

.\t  the  time  of  the  establishment  of  the 
college,  no  other  educational  requirements 
were  made  for  admission  than  that  the 
applicant  should  have  had  such  a  general 
education  as  would  enable  him  to  pur- 
sue the  study  of  law  with  advantage  to 
himself.  But  in  conformity  with  the  gen- 
eral movement  in  other  parts  of  the  coun- 
try, these  admission  requirements  were 
steadily  pushed  upward  until,  in  1901,  ad- 
mission to  regular  standing  was  substan- 
tially limited  to  graduates  of  a  high  school. 
In  1909  the  applicant  was  required  to  have 
completed  one  year  of  academic  college 
work,  and  in  191 1  these  requirements 
were  increased  to  two  years  of  college 
work.  Persons  over  twenty-one  years  of 
age  having  a  high  school  education  are 
also  admitted  as  special  students,  not  can- 
didates for  a  degree. 

At  the  beginning  the  course  of  instruc- 
tion extended  over  two  years  in  both  day 
and  night  schools,  but  four  years  later  the 
night  course  was  extended  to  a  period  of 
three  years,  and  in  1895  the  day  course 
was  extended  to  three  years.  In  1907  the 
night  course  was  lengthened  to  four  years. 
In  1891,  graduate  work  leading  to  the  de- 
gree of  master  of  laws  was  offered,  and 
later  the  degree  of  doctor  of  civil  laws 
was  established,  but  in  191 1  graduate  work 
was   temporarily   discontinued. 

From  the  first  establishment  of  the  col- 
lege. Dean  Pattee  held  classes  at  night  for 
benefit  of  those  students  who  were  unable 
to  attend  during  the  day.  From  this  be- 
ginning grew  a  flourishing  night  school, 
in  which  the  attendance  was  frequently  al- 
most equal  to  that  in  the  day  school.  In 
1912  night  courses  ceased  to  be  offered 
for  graduation,  but  continued  to  be  given 
by  the  law  faculty  under  the  auspices  of 
the  division  of  university  extension.  Stu- 
dents in  the  night  courses  do  not  ordinar- 
ily qualify  for  graduation,  but  it  is  possible 
for  those  who  complete  the  night  course 
with  credit  to  receive  university  credit 
towards  a  degree  by  taking  the  regular 
law  school  examinations.  Special  atten- 
tion- is  given  to  instruction  in  practice, 
and  practice  courts  are  maintained  in 
which  the  procedure  and  methods  of  busi- 
ness are  made  as  nearly  like  those  of  the 
state  courts  as  possible.  Students  are  also 
afiforded  an  opportunity  for  actual  experi- 
ence in  practice  in  connection  with  the 
Minneapolis    Legal  Aid   Bureau. 

William  S.  Pattee  served  as  dean  from 
the  organization  of  the  college  in  1888  to 
the  time  of  his  death  in  191T.  He  was 
succeeded  by  William  R.  Vance,  formerly 
professor  of  law  in  Yale  University,  whose 
service  began  in  1912.  The  faculty  con- 
sists of  ten  professors,  of  whom  six  give 
their  entire  time  to  the  work  of  the  school. 
In  addition,  instruction  is  given  on  particu- 
lar topics  by  special  lecturers  selected 
from  the  bench  and  bar  of  Minnesota.  The 
so-called  "case  method"  of  instruction  is 
used  in  all  of  the  regular  courses,  collec- 
tions of  decided  cases  on   the  topics  under

consideration  being  put  in  the  hands  of 
the  students  and  used  as  the  basis  of  dis- 
cussion. Standard  text  books,  however, 
are  frequently  cited  and  students  are  ex- 
pected to  make  frequent  reference  to  them. 
The  tuition  f(te  is  $65  a  year,  payable  one- 
half  in  advance  at  the  beginning-  of  each 
semester. 

Graduates  of  the  Law  School  are  admitt- 
ed to  the  bar  in  Minnesota  without  further 
examination,  upon  presentation  of  their 
diplomas.

Local  Alumni  Associations.  Alumni  and 
former  students  of  the  University  have 
more    or    less    formal    organizations    in   va- 


rious parts  of  the  country.  Whenever  an 
alumnus  may  chance  to  settle  where  there 
is  such  an  organization,  he  should  make 
the  fact  known  to  the  other  alumni  living 
in  the  neighborhood.  While  the  follow- 
ing list  is  not  complete,  it  may  prove  help- 
ful to  alumni  who  are  traveling.  As  the 
officers  are  frequently  changing,  in  the  as- 
sociations, we  have  simply  given  a  list  of 
the  places  where  such  organizations  are 
maintained.  If  you  chance  to  be  in  a 
part  of  the  country  where  you  would  like 
to  get  in  touch  with  any  of  these  associa- 
tions, make  yourself  known  to  any  alum- 
nus living  in  the  city  and  you  will  be  able 
to   secure   the  information  you  desire.

the  income  thereof  to  be  collected,  re- 
ceived and  applied  by  said  board  of  re- 
gents to  the  financial  assistance  of  stu- 
dents of  either  sex  in  the  school  of  agri- 
culture. The  fund  produces  about  $400  a 
year. 


The  following  conditions  are  imposed 
by  the  donor:  "The  beneficiaries  must 
be  youths  who  are  residents  of  the  state  of 
Minnesota:  they  must  be  and  continue  of 
unblemished  moral  character,  and  of  tem- 
perate and  industrious  habits,  and  they 
must  be  such  as  by  examination  and  trial 
shall  evince  and  maintain  a  taste,  habit 
and  aptitude  for  study  and  improvement; 
and  any  student  who  shall  fail  to  come, 
or  shall  cease  to  be,  wthin  the  above  con- 
ditions shall  forfeit  all  claims  to  the  ben- 
efit of  such  fund.  Subject  to  these  con- 
ditions the  administration  of  such  income 
is  entrusted  to  the  said  board  of  regents 
or  shall  cease  to  be  within  the  above  con- 
which  may  make  such  rules  therefor  as 
they  may  deem  judicious." 

When  Mr.  Ludden's  will  was  probated, 
in  October,  1907,  it  was  found  that  he  had 
left  a  considerable  property  to  be  used  as 
the  regents  may  direct  for  the  aid  of 
needy  and  deserving  students. 

This  property  consisted  of  certain  real 
estate  in  St.  Paul  and  miscellaneous  stocks 
and  bonds.  The  University  has  realized 
on  this  property  $10,680.35,  and  has  left 
the  following  described  real  estate:  S.  1-2

Main  Barn.  Erected  in  1884,  at  a  cost 
of  $15,000,  from  the  profits  on  the  sale  of 
the    first    University    farm,    75x234   feet. 

Main  Engineering  Building  is  231  feet 
long  in  the  body  and  65  feet  in  least 
width;  in  addition  there  are  two  wings  on 
the  east  side  of  the  building,  70x40  feet. 
The  north  wing  is  devoted  exclusively  to 
the  central  engineering  library.  The  south 
wing  is  devoted  exclusively  to  well-lighted, 
large    drafting   rooms. 


The  body  of  the  building  is  of  three 
main  floors,  above  a  commodious,  well 
lighted  basement,  and  under  this  a  sub- 
basement  space  for  pipes  and  conduits. 
The  architectural  style  is  Italian  Re- 
naissance; and  the  materials  used  are  Co- 
lonial brick  in  masses,  with  Bedford  stone 
up  to  the  first  story  and  in  the  cornice  and 
trimmings.  The  basement  is  utilized  for 
student  welfare  rooms.  The  first  floor  is 
largely  devoted  to  recitation  and  lecture 
rooms,  and  to  the  offices  of  members  of 
the  faculty.  The  second  floor  is  devoted 
almost  exclusively  to  recitation,  lecture 
and  drafting  rooms  and  offices.  A  partic- 
ular feature  of  this  floor  is  the  post- 
senior  civil  engineers'  room.  The  build- 
ing has  been  constructed  with  a  view  of 
ultimately  adding  a  roof  house  as  the  de- 
mand for  more  space  for  architecture  be- 
comes apparent.  The  building  is  fully 
fire  proof  throughout.  With  the  fans  in 
motion  the  air  is  tempered,  washed, 
heated  and  forced  in  generous  quantities 
to  the  various  rooms  of  the  building.  The 
building  is  electrically^  lighted,  drafting 
rooms  and  the  auditorium  utilizing  the 
indirect  system.  The  building  was  com- 
pleted and  occupied  in  1912  and  cost 
$225,000.

thirty.  Its  purpose  is  to  produce  fore- 
most modern  and  classic  drama.  Plays 
are  produced  twice  a  year  under  the  direc- 
tion of  a  qualified  dramatic  coach.  Owing 
to  the  fact  that  the  University  has  no  real-

tions, these  have  in  the  past  been  given 
over  town.     See  dramatic  club.

Meat  House.  Erected  in  1901,  at  a  cost 
of  $7,500.  It  provides  accommodations  for 
one  hundred  and  twenty  students  in  the 
lecture  room.  The  killing  and  cutting 
rooms  on  the  main  floor  are  well  adapted 
to  large  details  for  practice  work,  and  the 
basement  curing  rooms  ofifer  excellent  op- 
portunity for  training  in  this  branch  of 
the  work.  The  store  rooms  are  refriger-

Mechanic  Arts  Building.  This  building 
was  erected  in  1886,  at  a  cost  of  $51,500, 
including  equipment.  It  was  remodelled 
and  a  large  addition  made  to  it  in  1903,  at 
a  cost  of  $10,000.  It  is  constructed  of  red 
pressed  brick  with  red  sandstone  trim- 
mings and  is  a  three  story  and  high  base- 
ment building.  Originally  it  was  used  ex- 
clusively for  the  housing  of  the  college  of 
engineering.  With  the  growth  of  that  col- 
lege and  the  addition  of  other  buildings, 
this  building  was  finally  abandoned  by  that 
college,    at    the    end    of    the    college    year

to  the  department  of  political  science  and 
economics  and  the  University  extension 
service  of  the  University.  The  building  is 
in  no  sense  tire  proof  or  even  slow  burn- 
ing construction,  it  is  antiquated  and  hard- 
ly suitable  for  any  University  use,  en- 
dangering, as  it  does,  all  material  that  may 
be  housed  in  it.  It  provides  about  thirty 
thousand  square  feet  of  floor  space  and 
provides  quarters  for  the  superintendent 
of  buildings,  inventory  clerk,  post  office, 
and  storage  of  supplies  for  the  University.

Medical  Campus.  With  the  acquirement 
of  the  new  campus,  the  board  of  regents 
set  apart  the  two  and  one  half  blocks  lying 
between  Union  and  Church  streets  and 
bounded  north  and  south  by  Washington 
avenue  and  the  Mississippi  river,  for  the 
site  of  the  new  medical  buildings.  It  is 
expected  that  ultimately  the  entire  medi- 
cal group  will  be  placed  on  this  new  medi- 
cal campus,  for  which  the  faculty  and  Al- 
umni, by  a  fund  of  $42,000,  secured  by  the 
contributions  of  citizens  of  Minneapolis, 
helped  to  provide. 

Medical  School.  This  school  was  author- 
ized by  the  charter  of  the  University,  and 
as  early  as  1873  agitation  for  its  organiza- 
tion had  begun.  Not  until  1882,  however, 
did  the  question  assume  definite  form.  It 
was  then  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
board  of  regents  by  a  communication  from 
Dr.  Charles  N.  Hewitt,  secretary  of  the 
state  board  of  health.  As  a  result,  a  res- 
olution was  adopted  by  the  board  authoriz- 
ing the  appointment  of  a  committee  con- 
sisting of  Dr.  Chas.  N.  Hewitt,  Dr.  Wm.  H. 
Leonard,  and  President  Wm.  W.  Folwell, 
instructed  to  prepare  plans  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  such  a  school.  The  commit- 
tee's report  recited  the  then  present  condi- 
tions of  medical  education  and  recom- 
mended the  creation  of  a  faculty  whose 
duties  should  be  those  of  an  examining, 
licensing  and  degree-conferring  board;  be- 
fore which  each  candidate  to  practice  med- 
icine in  the  state  should  appear  for  exam- 
ination, as  to  his  literary  and  scientific 
qualifications  and  his  professional  fitness. 
This  report  was  adopted  and  the  faculty, 
as  an  examining  body,  was  appointed  Jan- 
uary 5,  1883.  Under  this  form  of  organiza- 
tion the  school  existed  until  1887,  confer- 
ring upon  nine  candidates  the  degree  of 
bachelor  of  medicine. 

On  the  7th  of  April,  1887,  a  committee, 
consisting  of  Dr.  D.  W.  Hand,  Dr.  Chas. 
N.  Hewitt,  and  Dr.  Perry  H.  Millard, 
waited  upon  the  board  of  regents,  and 
urged  the  establishment  of  a  teaching 
school  of  medicine.  The  question  was  re- 
ferred to  a  special  committee  of  the  board 


of  regents  and  at  a  meeting  of  the  board 
on  January  28th,  1888,  representatives  of 
the  hoard  of  trustees  of  the  Minnesota 
Hospital  college  and  of  the  St.  Paul  Med- 
ical school  tendered  to  the  regents  the  use 
of  their  properties,  for  a  period  of  five 
years,  and  agreed  to  the  surrender  of  their 
respective  charters  in  order  that  a  medi- 
cal school  of  high  grade  might  be  estab- 
lished in  the  state.  The  ofifer  was  accepted 
by  the  board. 

In  March  1888,  the  board  of  trustees  of 
the  Minnesota  Homeopathic  Medical  col- 
lege voluntarily  surrendered  its  charter  and 
offered  to  provide  temporary  quarters  for 
a  homeopathic  college  of  medicine,  if  the 
regents  would  establish  such  a  school. 
This  ofifer  was  accepted. 

One  committee  was  appointed  to  nom- 
inate a  faculty  for  the  college  of  medicine 
and  surgery  and  for  the  college  of  dentis- 
try, and  another  to  nominate  a  faculty  for 
the  college  of  homeopathic  medicine  and 
surgery.  These  three  colleges  were  com- 
bined in  one  department  of  medicine,  and 
were  open  to  students  in  the  fall  of  1888, 
classes  being  conducted  in  the  building 
later  occupied  by  Asbury  hospital,  at  the 
corner  of  6th  street  and  9th  avenue  south. 
Dr.  Perry  H.  Millard  was  appointed  dean 
of  the  department.  For  four  years,  instruc- 
tion was  given  in  these  quarters  and,  in 
1891,  the  legislature  appropriated  $80,000 
for  a  medical  building  to  be  erected  on  the 
University  campus.  This  was  completed  in 
season  for  the  opening  of  the  session  of 
1891-92,  and  was  later  named  Millard  hall. 

With  the  removal  of  the  department  to 
the  University  campus  a  change  in  admin- 
istration was  demanded.  Each  of  the  col- 
leges constituting  the  department  was  giv- 
en its  own  dean.  Dr.  Millard  was  con- 
tinued as  dean  of  the  college  of  medicine 
and  surgery,  Dr.  H.  W.  Brazie  was  ap- 
pointed dean  of  the  college  of  homeopathic 
medicine  and  surgery,  and  Dr.  W.  Xavier 
Sudduth,  dean  of  the  college  of  dentistry. 
Later,  the  college  of  pharmacy  was  organ- 
ized and  added  to  the  group,  and  Dr. 
Frederick  J.  ^^'uIling  was  installed  as  its 
dean. 

Dr.  Millard  filled  the  deanship  of  the 
medical  school  until  his  death  in  1897;  he 
was  succeeded  by  the  late  Dr.  Parks  Rit- 
chie, professor  of  obstetrics,  who  held  the 
office  until  1906.  Upon  his  resignation.  Dr. 
Frank  Fairchild  Wesbrook  was  chosen  and 
conducted  the  school  until  the  spring  of 
1913.  when  he  resigned  to  accept  the  Pres- 
idency of  the  University  of  British  Colum- 
bia. His  place  has  been  filled  by  the  se- 
lection of  Dr.  Elias  Potter  Lyon,  formerly 
dean  of  the  St.  Louis  University  Medical 
school. 

The  college  of  homeopathic  medicine 
and  surgery  was  maintained  until  the  year 
1909,  when  it  was  abolished  by  vote  of  the 
board   of  regents. 

In  the  year  1908,  the  ]\Iinneapolis  Col- 
lege of  Physician  and  Surgeons,  affiliated 
until    then    with    Hamline    University,    was

merged  with  the  medical  school  of  the  Uni- 
versity, which  undertook  to  complete  the 
teaching  of  its  matriculants  and  to  recom- 
mend them  to  Ilamline  University  for  the 
degree. 

In  the  spring  of  1913,  the  medical  school 
was  reorganized  by  direction  of  the  pres- 
ident and  the  board  of  regents.  Its  chairs 
were  grouped  into  eight  departments,  as 
follows:  anatomy  (including  histology, 
embryology,  gross  anatomy,  neurology, 
etc.);  physiology;  pharmacology;  pathol- 
ogy; public  health  and  bacteriology;  med- 
icine (including  pediatrics,  and  nervous 
and  mental  diseases,  as  divisions) ;  surgery 
(including  the  divisions  of  dermatology, 
genito-urinary  diseases,  orthopedics,  and 
eye,  ear,  nose,  and  throat);  and  obstetrics 
(including  g\'necology). 

The  new  faculty  numbers  46  professors 
and  28  instructors.  A  force  of  laboratory 
and  clinical  assistants,  numbering  26,  is 
without  membership  in  the  faculty.  The 
direction  of  the  school  is  entrusted  to  an 
administrative  board  consisting  of  the 
dean  and  the  secretary  of  the  medical 
school,  the  superintendent  of  hospitals,  the 
heads  of  the  departments  and  of  one  mem- 
ber elect  chosen  by  the  facultj^  at  large. 

Seven  and  eight  year  courses  are  offered 
to  students  of  medicine.  In  the  former, 
the  minimal  requirement  of  two  years  in 
a  recognized  college  of  science,  literature 
and  the  arts,  followed  by  the  first  two  years 
in  medicine,  leads  up  to  the  degree  of  B. 
S.  In  the  latter,  three  3'ears  in  the  college 
of  science,  literature  and  the  arts,  followed 
by  the  first  year  in  medicine,  lead  to  the 
degree   of    B.   A. 

Under  either  of  these  courses,  two  years 
in  general  chemistry  and  qualitative  chem- 
istry, one  year  in  biology,  physics  and 
rhetoric,  and  a  reading  knowledge  of 
French  or  German  are  required. 

The  first  two  years  in  medicine  are  de- 
voted to  the  study  of  the  fundamental 
medical  sciences,  including  anatomy,  phy- 
siology, pharmacologj',  bacteriology,  path- 
ology and  the  principles  of  medical  diag- 
nosis. The  second  two  years  take  up  the 
study  of  clinical  pharmacology  and  path- 
ology, and  of  medicine,  surgery  and  ob- 
stetrics in  theory  and  practice.  Their  work 
is  essentially  clinical  in  method  and  is  very 
largely  pursued  in  the  hospitals  and  dis- 
pensaries owned  by  or  affiliated  with  the 
school. 

The  fifth  year  in  medicine,  precedent  to 
the  granting  of  the  degree,  may  be  taken 
in  a  standard  hospital  interneship  or  in  ad- 
vanced  work    in   the   laboratory    field. 

The  tuition  fee  is  $150  a  year  for  each 
of  the  first  four  years  in  medicine.  No  fee 
is  charged  in  the  fifth  year. 

A  summer  school  of  medicine,  opened  in 
1913,  offers  courses  of  six  weeks  duration 
in  the  laboratory  branches  and  in  the  clin- 
ical field,  which  may  be  made  contributive 
to   a   degree. 

Courses    in    public    health    are    being    in- 


augurated, with  a  view  to  the  training  of 
both   medical   and   lay   health   officers. 

In  the  twenty-five  years  of  its  history, 
the  medical  school  has  graduated  1,082 
doctors  of  medicine.  Its  enrollment  for 
1912-13  numbered   191.

Memorial  Day.  Since  1899  the  Univer- 
sity has  observed  Alemorial  Day  by  pro- 
viding for  the  decoration  of  the  graves  of 
students  who  lost  their  lives  in  the  Span- 
ish American  war.  The  idea  originated 
with  Professor  Arthur  Edwin  Haynes  who 
provided  silk  American  flags  to  be  placed 
on  the  graves  of  all  students  who  lost  their 
lives    in    the    Spanish    American    war. 

Menorah  Society  was  established  in  1904 
and  has  a  membership  of  125.  Its  purpose 
is  to  study  Jewish  history  and  culture,  to 
promote  Jewish  ideals,  and  to  discuss  Jew- 
ish problems.  Its  activities  include  busi- 
ness meetings,  lectures  by  members  of  the 
faculty  or  others,  papers  by  student  mem- 
bers and  a  limited  number  of  social  func- 
tions during  the  year,  including  a  play,  a 
banquet  and  a  dance.  This  was  originally 
organized  as  the  University  Jewish  Liter- 
arv  Society.

of  similar  coinmissions  in  other  states 
which  was  held  in  Atlantic  City  July  1909, 
and  was  elected  secretary  of  the  conven- 
tion. His  argument  on  the  constitutional- 
ity of  such  legislation,  made  at  this  con-

Military  encampments.  The  first  mili- 
tary encampment  at  the  University  was 
held  under  the  direction  of  Captain  Ed- 
mund L.  Butts  during  examination  week 
in  the  fall  of  1910.  This  camp  was  known 
as  the  Cyrus  Northrop  camp.  The  agri- 
cultural school  cadets  held  a  similar  en- 
campment in  the  week  preceding  the  open- 
ing of  work  at  that  school.  The  following 
year  the  camp  was  known  as  the  William 
W.  Folwell  camp.  The  1912  camp  was 
known  as  the  John  A.  Johnson.  The  en-

Millard  Hall,  New  together  with  The 
Institute  of  Anatomy,  was  authorized  by 
the  legislatures  of  1909  and  1911,  under 
appropriations  of  $266,400,  for  the  build- 
ing, and  $60,000  for  its  equipment.  The 
building  has  three  stories,  with  high  base- 
ment and  roof-house.  It  is  built  of  Dan- 
ville brick  with  Bedford  Stone  trimmings 
and  conforms  to  the  general  plan  of  the 
new  campus  University.  It  is  thoroughly 
fireproof,  its  interior  construction  being  of 
brick,  concrete  and  tile.  Its  floor  area  is 
approximately  82,455  square  feet.  It  is 
provided  with  thoroughly  modern  ventil- 
ating, air-purifying,  electric-lighting,  and 
vacuum-cleaning  systems. 


Priniarily  a  laborator}'  building,  it  is 
planned  essentialh^  as  a  workshop  and  its 
equipment  is  designed  for  the  development 
of  a  maximum  of  service  along  both  teach- 
ing and  research  lines.  The  basement  con- 
tains machinery  rooms,  store-rooms,  prep- 
aration rooms,  galvanometer  room,  com- 
bustion room,  photographic  rooms,  locker 
room,  students'  lounging  room,  and  a  ser- 


ies of  workshops  intended  to  serve  the 
manufacturing  and  repair  needs  of  the  med- 
ical  school. 

The  first  floor  is  devoted  to  the  Dean's 
offices,  the  faculty  room,  the  clinical  libra- 
ry, lecture-room,  and  the  offices  and  lab- 
oratories of  the  department  of  medicine. 
Upon  the  second  floor  are  the  offices,  re- 
search rooms,  and  library  of  the  depart- 
ment of  surgery;  the  offices,  and  students' 
and  private  laboratories  of  the  department 
of  pharmacology;  laboratories  for  grad- 
uate study  in  physiology  and  physiologic 
chemistry;  and  a  lecture-room.  The  third 
floor  contains  the  offices  of  the  secretary 
of  the  medical  school,  and  is  otherwise 
wholly  occupied  by  the  department  of  phy- 
siology, with  three  large  students'  labora- 
tories, two  supply  rooms,  balance  room, 
four  special  sense  laboratories,  the  de- 
partment library,  a  demonstration  room  and 
and  four  private  laboratories. 

The  roof-house  is  designed  for  the  hous- 
ing and  care  of  animals  and  for  operative 
and  research  work  in  which  animals  are 
employed.  It  has  a  number  of  study 
rooms;  frog  and  turtle  aquaria,  rabbit, 
guinea-pig  and  monkey  houses,  rat  and 
mouse  cages,  quarters  for  larger  animals, 
an  incinerator,  and  feed  rooms.  Surround- 
ing the  entire  roof-house,  is  a  wide  para- 
petted  corridor  in  which  the  animals  are 
permitted   to   exercise   freely. 

The  entire  building  is  supplied  with  hot 
and  cold  water,  high  pressure  steam,  com- 
pressed air,  gas  and  both  alternating  and 
direct  currents  for  power. 

The  two  new  medical  buildings  are  sit- 
uated on  the  new  campus  fronting  on  a 
common  court  and  flanked  by  Washington, 
Union   and    Church   streets.

Millard  Medical  Library.  By  the  be- 
quest of  the  late  dean.  Perry  H.  Millard, 
M.  D.,  who  bequeathed  his  entire  private 
medical  library  to  the  department,  the  de- 
partment came  into  possession  of  a  collec-

Minerva  Literary  Society  was  estab- 
lished in  1895  and  has  an  invitation  mem- 
bership of  thirty  young  women.  Its  ac- 
tivities are  literary  and  social. 

Mines,  School  of,  The.  This  school  was 
established  in  1888.  It  existed  as  a  sep- 
arate organization  until  1891,  when  it  be- 
came an  integral  part  of  the  college  of 
engineering,  metallurp-y  and  the  mechanic 
arts.  In  1896,  another  reorganization  took 
place  and  the  school  of  mines  was  made 
an  independent  organization  with  its  own 
course  of  study,  faculty  and  in  1900  Wil- 
liam R.  Appleby,  professor  of  metallurgy, 
was  made  dean.  Up  to  1913  this  college 
was  housed  in  the  school  of  mines  build- 
ing and  the  ore-crushing  plant,  both  locat- 
ed on  the  river  bank.  The  mining  building 
was  destroyed  by  fire,  February  14th,  1913 
and  is  to  be  rebuilt  for  the  college  of  ed- 
ucation. The  legislature  of  1913  appropri- 
ated $145,000  for  a  new  mining  building 
which  is  to  be  erected  to  the  north  of  the 
open  court  between  the  laboratory  of  ex- 
perimental engineering  and  the  main  en- 
gineering building.  The  school  was  cared 
for  temporarily  in  the  main  engineering 
buildinar.  The  school  is  one  of  the  best 
equipped  on  the  campus  and  enjoys  the 
advantages  which  come  from  an  intimate 
connection  with  tlie  mining  experiment  sta- 
tion established  in   1911.     Admission  to  this 


school  is  on  the  basis  of  graduation  from 
an  accredited  high  school,  but  students 
who  are  unable  to  pass  an  examination  in 
mathematics  are  renuired  to  take  a  five- 
year  course  to  receive  their  degree.  The 
work  of  the  course  furnishes  a  thorough 
foundation  in  general  engineering  as  well 
as  special  instruction  in  mining  engineer- 
ing. Two  trips  for  field  work  are  required 
of  all  candidates  for  graduation — one  at 
the  close  of  the  sophomore  year  and  an- 
other at  the  close  of  the  junior  year.  The 
degrees  granted  in  this  course  are,  en- 
gineer of  mines  and  metallurgical  engin- 
eer. The  school  has  granted  since  its 
organization  the  following  degrees  Bach- 
elor of  mining  engineering,  6,  Mining  en- 
gineer, 10,  Engineer  of  mines,  ig6,  Metal- 
lurgical engineer,  4.  In  addition  to  twelve 
professors,  assistant  ^^rofessors  and  in- 
structors who  devote  their  whole  time  to 
the  work  of  the  school  instruction  is  re- 
ceived in  common  with  students  in  other 
colleges  in  subjects  that  are  common  to 
both. 

Mineral  Lands  and  Leases.  The  Uni- 
versity still  owns  19,303.9  acres  of  the  land 
originally  granted  by  the  national  govern- 
ment for  its  endowment.  Some  of  these 
lands  are  located  on  the  Iron  Range.  114 
40S  are  known  to  be  in  the  iron  bearing 
district  and  40  are  in  the  Biwabik  forma- 
tion, which  is  the  richest  in  iron.  Twenty- 
two  leases  on  this  land,  covering  a  total 
of  2,400  acres,  with  an  estimated  merchant- 
able tonnage  of  over  five  million  tons,  are 
in  force  at  the  present  tiine  and  134  have 
been  cancelled.  The  total  receipts  from 
royalties  on  ore  taken  from  this  land  to 
November  ist,  1912,  was  $1 10,595.9s :  the 
annual  addition  to  the  endowment  of  the 
University,  from  this  source,  is  now  about 
$100,000.  It  has  been  variously  estimated 
that  the  University  will  receive,  eventually, 
from  these  lands  an  endowment  of  any- 
where from  twenty  to  forty  million  dol- 
lars. 

Mining  Experiment  Station.  Established 
by  the  legislature  of  191 1.  The  purpose 
of  this  station  is,  (i)  To  promote  the  de- 
velopment of  the  mining  and  mineral  re- 
sources of  the  State.  (2)  To  assay  spec- 
imens of  ores,  rocks,  clays,  and  minerals 
free  of  charge,  subject  to  the  necessary 
regulations  imposed  by  the  board  of  re- 
gents. (3)  To  make  mining  and  metallur- 
gical experiments  in  the  treatment  of  such 
substances  and  in  the  utilization  of  mining 
and  metallurgical  by-products.  (4)  To  in- 
vestigate methods  of  mining  and  the  use 
of  explosives.  (5)To  undertake  such  other 
work  as  may  seem  desirable.  (6)  To  make 
all  ore  estimates  for  the  tax  commission 
and  to  do  such  other  work  along  the  lines 
above  outlined  as  may  be  requested  by  the 
other    state    departments. 

The  first  report  published  by  the  station 
was  a  report  upon  Iron  Mining  in  Minne- 
sota, by  Professor  van  Barneveld  in  the 
spring  of   1913.

Mining     and      Metallurgy      Museum.     A 

museum  of  mining  and  metallurgy  is  _  lo- 
cated in  the  School  of  Mines  Building. 
Representative  ores  of  all  the  most  im- 
portant metals,  drawings,  photographs  of 
furnaces,  sectional  furnace  models  and 
samples  of  all  the  dififerent  furnace  prod- 
ucts are  exhibited  to  the  public  and  are, 
used  as  illustrative  material  for  regular 
classes.  Various  mine  appliances,  pieces 
of  machinery,  underground  photographs, 
models  of  mine  timbering  with  sectional 
maps  of  some  of  the  large  Minnesota 
properties,  complete  the  collection.  A  col- 
lection begun  will  include  ores  from  all 
the  important  mines  on  the  Mesabi  range. 
The  samples  with  analyses  show  well  the 
character  of  ore  produced  by  the  State. 

Minneapolis  Life  Underwriters  Associa- 
tion Prize.  A  prize  of  fifty  dollars  offered 
by  the  Minneapolis  life  underwriters  asso- 
ciation for  the  best  essay  on  life  insurance 
written  by  a  senior  of  the  class  of  1907, 
was   awarded  to   Earl  W.  Huntley. 

Minneapolis  Steel  and  Machinery  Com- 
pany Scholarship.  Beginning  with  the 
college  year  1912-13,  the  scholarship  of 
$500.00  created  by  the  ]\Iinneapolis  Steel 
and  Machinery  Company  was  available  for 
work  by  a  graduate  student  in  the  labora- 
tories of  the  college  of  engineering.  The 
subject  upon  which  work  will  be  carried 
on  is  to  be  determined  by  agreement  be- 
tween   the    company    and    the    college. 

Minneapolis  Tuberculosis  Committee 
Fellowship  in  Economics.  Chester  Roy 
Adams   appointed    1909-10. 

Minne-Ha-Ha  was  established  in  190S 
and  is  published  by  an  association  of  stu- 
dents whose  membership  includes  all  paid- 
up  subscribers  to  the  publication.  Its  pur- 
pose is  to  present  to  the  students  of  the 
University  the  humorous  and  optimistic 
side  of  college  life,  and  to  arouse  and 
stimulate  the  interest  of  the  students  in 
issues  of  importance.  The  magazine  is 
published  once  a  month  during  the  college 
year. 

Minnehaha,  The.  The  co-educational  lit- 
erary society  of  the  school  of  agriculture. 

Minnesota      (American      Commonwealth 

series).  In  1909  the  Houghton,  Mifflin 
Co.  published  Dr.  Folwell's  book  on  Min- 
nesota in  the  American  Commonwealth 
series.  The  book  fills  382  pages.  This  is 
not  an  abridgement  of  the  larger  work 
which  Dr.  Fohvell  has  in  preparation  on 
Minnesota  but  an  independent  history  of 
the  state. 

Minnesota,  The.  This  literary  society 
for  men  of  the  school  of  agriculture  was 
established    1905. 

Minnesota  Academy  of  Social  Sciences, 
The.  This  is  not  a  University  organiza- 
tion, but  its  members  are  so  largely  Uni- 
versity men  that  it  is  included  in  this  dic- 
tionary. Organized  in  the  spring  of  1907. 
The  purposes  of  this  organization,  as  stat- 


ed in  its  constitution,  are:  (a)  The  en- 
couragement of  the  study  of  economic, 
political,  social  and  historical  questions 
particularly  affecting  the  state  of  Minne- 
sota, (b)  The  publication  of  papers  and 
other  material  relating  to  the  same,  (c) 
The  holding  of  meetings  for  conference 
and  discussion  of  such  questions. 

Minnesota    Alumni    Weekly,    The.      The 

Weekly  was  started  just  before  commence- 
ment in  June,  1901.  It  was  the  idea  of 
those  back  of  the  movement  to  publish  the 
Weekly  by  picking  up,  bodily,  items  of 
news  from  the  Minnesota  Daily,  that  would 
be  of  special  interest  to  the  alumni.  The 
project  met  with  such  an  enthusiastic  re- 
ception that  it  was  found  possible  to  issue 
it  as  an  independent  publication,  using 
only  a  very  limited  amount  of  material 
picked  up  from  the  Daily.  The  Weekly 
was  started  bv  its  first  and  present  editor, 
E.  B.  Johnson,  '88,  whose  personal  prop- 
erty it  was  until  the  spring  of  1906,  when 
he  turned  it  over  to  the  board  of  directors 
of  the  general  alumni  association.  It  is 
now  the  official  publication  of  the  general 
alumni  association.  It  is  issued  weeky  dur- 
ing the  college  j^ear,  from  September  to 
June.  The  first  number  was  issued  Sep- 
tember 14,  1901.  Sixteen  pages  and  cover. 
Subscription   price  $2.00  a  j^ear. 

Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly  Gold  Medal, 
The.  This  medal  is  provided  by  the  Min- 
nesota Alumni  Weekly  and  is  awarded  an- 
nually by  the  faculty  committee  on  debate 
and  oratory  to  that  student  who  has  made 
the  best  record  in  forensics  during  his  col- 
lege course.  This  committee  has  estab- 
lished certain  general  principles  which  are 
to  govern  the  award  of  this  medal,  as  fol- 
lows: The  medal  shall  only  be  awarded  to 
a  student  who  has  shown  himself  broad- 
minded,  unselfish,  willing  to  work  cour- 
teoush^  and  enthusiastically,  so  as  to  best 
serve  the  interests  of  debate  and  oratory 
in  the  University  and  bring  credit  to  his  al- 
ma mater  and  incidentally  to  himself.  The 
recipient  must  be  a  type  and  a  model,  as 
nearly  as  the  student  body  offers  such  a 
candidate  each  year,  of  what  a  man  may 
make  himself  through  diligent  application 
to  the  duty  next  at  hand. 

The  first  medal  was  awarded  to  John  P. 
Devaney,  on  commencement  day  1907;  sub- 
sequent awards  have  been  made  to  Stan- 
ley B.  Houck,  1908;  Max  Lowenthal,  1909; 
Sigurd  H.  Peterson,  1910;  Not  awarded  in 
1911;  Matthias  N.  Olson,  1912;  and  Her- 
bert J.  Burgstahler,  1913. 

Minnesota  Association  for  Research,  The. 

This  association  was  organized  March  9, 
1907.  Professor  Gerould,  the  librarian,  was 
the  permanent  secretary  of  the  organiza- 
tion and  the  chief  executive  officer  and  is 
to  provide  a  presiding  offlcer  for  each  of 
the  seven  meetings  to  be  held  each  j'ear. 
The  purpose  of  the  association  is  the  en- 
couragement and  prosecution  of  original 
research  at  the  University.  This  society 
has   not  been   active    since    1909.

THE  MINNESOTA 


Minnesota  Botanical  Studies.  Published 
by  the  staff  of  the  botanical  department, 
as  a  report  on  the  botanical  division  of 
the  State  geological  and  natural  history- 
survey. 

Minnesota  Daily  is  the  official  student 
newspaper  of  the  University.  It  was  es- 
tablished in  1900,  the  first  number  being 
published  May  ist  of  that  year.  The  edi- 
torial staff  is  composed  of  men  and  wo- 
men chosen  by  competition  each  year  from 
the  undergraduate  body.  It  is  the  succes- 
sor to  the  weekly  publication,  The  Ariel. 
Published  daily,  except  Sunday  and  Mon- 
day, during  the  college  year.  Subscrip- 
tion  price   two   dollars. 

Minnesota  Daily  News.  This  publication 
was  started  by  a  rival  student  organization, 
in  December,  1903,  who  felt  that  the  Min- 
nesota Daily  was  not  filling  the  field  which 
it  should  occupy.  After  a  few  months  this 
publication  was  combined  with  the  Minne- 
sota Daily  and  has  been  issued  under  this 
name    since    that    date. 

Minnesota  Debating  Board.  This  board 
is  provided  for  in  the  constitution  of  the 
debating  and  oratorical  association  of  the 
University  of  Minnesota.  It  is  made  up  of 
four  faculty  and  five  student  members, 
(the  faculty  members  holding  the  balance 
of  power),  and  has  charge  of  all  matters 
connected  with  the  student  activities  in 
these  lines.  The  faculty  members  are  ap- 
pointed by  the  faculty  of  the  college  of 
science,  literature  and  the  arts. 

This  board  is  the  result  of  evolution 
running  through  many  years.  It  was  orig- 
inated in  the  idea  of  those  most  closely 
connected  with  debate,  in  the  department 
of  rhetoric,  that  all  departments  of  the 
University  were  interested  in  this  line  of 
work  and  that  all  departments  were,  in  a 
sense,  responsible  for  the  proper  training 
of  the  teams  to  represent  the  University. 
An  effort  was  made  to  enlist  the  aid  of 
other  departments  and  the  debating  board, 
composed  as  above,  is  the  outgrowth  of 
this  movement.  It  is  the  logical,  and  prob- 
ably the  lineal  descendant  of  the  old  ora- 
torical association,  organized  in  1880  and 
which  had  charge  of  oratorical  events  down 
through  1897-98,  when  it  was  succeeded  by 
the  debating  board  created  under  a  new 
organization.  In  1896,  the  Federated  lit- 
erary societies  undertook  to  look  after 
debating  interests.  Up  to  that  time  debate 
had  received  little  encouragement  and  had 
no  organized  backing. 

Minnesota  Engineer,  The.  Successor  to 
the  Minnesota  Engineers'  Year  Book.  Es- 
tablished in  November  1908  and  has  been 
issued  as  a  quarterly  since  that  date.  Vol. 
IV  of  the  quarterly  has  just  ])een  com- 
pleted; the  whole  number,  including  the 
annual,  is  21.  The  character  of  the  pub- 
lication continues  practically  the  same  as 
when  an  annual — it  includes  articles  by  fac- 
ulty, students  and  alumni  who  are  engaged 
in  lines  of  work  of  special  interest  to  others 
engaged   in   similar  lines  of   work. 


Minnesota  Farm  Review,  The.  A  month- 
ly agricultural  paper  owned  and  published 
by  the  Alumni  association  of  the  school 
of  agriculture.  The  paper  is  intended  to 
be  a  medium  by  which  the  former  students 
of  the  institution  shall  be  kept  in  touch 
with  each  other  and  also  with  the  school 
and  experimental  station.  It  also  endea- 
vors to  bring  the  farmers  throughout  the 
state,  generally,  into  closer  connection  with 
the  institution  and  to  this  end  strives  to 
present  the  latest  progress  in  experimental 
work  at  the  various  stations.  It  is  the  of- 
ficial organ  of  the  Alumni  association  and 
of  the  Farmers'  club.  The  paper  was  es- 
tablished in  1896  as  The  Farm  Students' 
Review;  the  name  was  changed  in  1908. 

Minnesota  Forester.  This  publication 
was  established  in  January  1908  and  in 
191 1  was  renamed  the  North  Woods,  which 
is  nov/  in  its  second  year.  The  publication 
is  edited  by  the  Forestry  department  of 
the  University  for  the  Minnesota  State 
Forestry  association,  of  which  it  is  the 
official  publication.  The  publication  is  de- 
voted to  furthering  the  interests  of  for- 
estry, especially  farm  forestry. 

Minnesota    Literary    Union,    The.      See 

"Federated    Literary    Societies." 

Minnesota  Magazine,  The.  This  publi- 
cation was  started  in  the  fall  of  1894,  by  a 
close  corporation  of  members  of  the  senior 
class  of  the  college  of  science,  literature 
and  the  arts.  A  monthly  literary  maga- 
zine. Price  $1  a  year.  In  1906  the  maga- 
zine was  changed  so  as  to  make  its  board 
of  editors  elected  by  the  subscribers,  from 
members   of   the   senior  class. 

Minnesota  in  Manchuria.  In  the  spring 
of  1908,  E.  C.  Parker,  Ag.  '05,  then  a  mem- 
ber of  the  faculty  of  the  department  of 
agriculture,  was  appointed  by  the  United 
States  Government,  at  the  request  of  the 
Chinese  government,  to  be  expert  agri- 
cultural adviser  to  the  Manchurian  gov- 
ernment. The  appointment  was  for  a  per- 
iod of  years.  Mr.  Parker  was  accompan- 
ied on  his  mission  by  W.  H.  Tomhave,  Ag. 
'07,  at  that  time  in  the  live  stock  depart- 
ment of  Pennsylvania  State   College. 

Minnesota       Medical       Monthly,       The. 

(Homeopathic)  was  established  in  1887, 
was  published,  as  a  college  magazine,  for 
about  four  years.  Edited  by  Dr.  W.  E. 
Leonard. 

Minnesota  Rifle  Club  was  established 
January  10,  191 1  and  has  a  membership 
of  124  from  the  cadet  corps.  Its  purpose 
is  to  encourage  military  shooting  among 
the  male  members  of  the  University.  Its 
activities  include  indoor  and  outdoor  range 
practice,  competitions  with  other  colleges, 
and  with  the  National  Guard  of  the  Twin 
Cities.  The  qualifications  are  in  accord- 
ance with  the  rules  of  the  War  department 
at  Washington,  D.  C.  In  the  number  of 
men  qualified  for  membership  Minnesota 
has  more  marksmen  than  all  other  col- 
leges   and    universities    put     together.       In

Minnesota  Seaside  Station.  This  station 
was  established  in  igoi  and  was  maintain- 
ed through  the  summer  of  1907.  It  was 
established  by  the  department  of  Botany 
upon  four  acres  of  land  owned  by  Profes- 
sor Josephine  E.  Tilden.  It  was  located 
on  Vancouver  island,  on  a  little  cove  at 
the  entrance  of  the  straits  of  Fuca,  nearly 
opposite  Cape  Flattery.  The  post  office  is 
Port  Renfrew,  sixty  miles  north  of  Vic- 
toria. The  station  never  had  any  official 
connection  with  the  University  thougli 
used  in  connection  with  the  work  of  the 
department  of  botany.  It  served  as  an  ex- 
periment station  for  the  department,  afford- 
ing excellent  opportunity  for  the  study 
of  marine  botany.  During  the  years  it  was 
maintained  classes  were  organized  and 
work  carried  on  continuously  during  work- 
ing hours  so  that  great  deal  was  really  ac- 
complished, though  the  time  spent  at  the 
station  was  but  brief.  As  a  result  of  this 
work  two  volumes  of  Postelsia  have  been 
published. 

Minnesota  Section  of  the  American  Insti- 
tute of  Electrical  Engineers  meets  once  a 
month  alternately  in  St.  Paul  and  Minne- 
apolis. Students  of  the  college  of  engin- 
eering  are    welcome   at   these   meetings. 

Minnesota  Songs.  Published  in  191 1  by 
Hinds,  Noble  &  Eldridge.  The  book  was 
compiled  and  edited  by  W.  W.  Norton,  '99, 
director  of  music  at  the  University  of 
North  Dakota  who  was  backed  by  the  class 
of  1911  who  adopted  the  book  as  a  class 
memorial.  The  book  contains  about  thirty 
Minnesota  songs  and  a  collection  of  col- 
lege  songs   popular  at    Minnesota. 

Minnesota  Stories.  A  volume  of  twenty 
typical  University  stories  chosen  mainly 
from  the  Minnesota  Magazine  and  pub- 
lished in  1903  by  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Com- 
pany. Maroon  cloth  with  half  tone  plate. 
Minnesota  Trees  and  Shrubs.  Prepared 
by  Professor  Clements  and  published  as 
volume  number  nine  of  the  botanical  sur- 
vey series,  in   the  fall  of  1912. 

Minnesota  Union,  The.  The  movement 
for  a  men's  building,  which  resulted  in  the 
organization  of  the  Minnesota  Union, 
started  in  the  spring  of  1908.  Max  Lowen- 
thal  and  John  F.  Sinclair  were  the  leaders 
in  this  movement.  A  ten-day  campaign 
among  the  students  among  the  students 
resulted  in  securing  $25,000  in  pledges  for 
the  construction  of  a  men's  building.  The 
constitution  was  adopted  May  5th  and  an 
election  was  held  and  a  board  of  govern- 
ors chosen.  The  first  thing  to  engage  the 
attention  of  the  board  was  the  proposition 
for  a  men's  building.  Plans  for  a  building, 
submitted  by  Lowell  A.  Lamoreaux,  '87, 
were  adopted  and  a  campaign  launched  to 
secure  a  building,  by  popular  subscription, 
as  a  testimonial  to  President  Northrop,  in 
the  spring  of  1910.  The  plan  met  with  con- 
siderable favor,  but  the  total  amount  need- 
ed, $250,000,   could  not  be   secured  as   first 


planned  and  the  legislature  was  asked  to 
contribute  toward  the  project,  the  Minne- 
apolis Commercial  club  pledging  $75,000 
if  the  legislature  would  contribute  $150,- 
000.  This  plan  was  not  acceptable  to  the 
legislature,  which  adjourned  without  mak- 
ing  the   needed   appropriation. 

At  the  request  of  the  University  author- 
ities, the  Union  ceased  its  active  campaign 
for  the  building  and,  at  the  request  of  the 
regents,  the  legislature  of  1913  voted  to 
devote  the  chemistry  building,  which  is  to 
be  vacated  when  the  new  chemistry  build- 
ing is  completed,  probably  in  the  fall  of 
1914,  to  the  use  of  the  men  for  a  Union 
building,  and  appropriated  $17,500  to  make 
certain  fundamental  changes  in  the  build- 
ing. To  secure  the  sort  of  building  need- 
ed will  require  $100,000  additional  and  it 
is  proposed  to  raise  this  sum  among 
friends   of   the   University. 

The  proposition  to  make  the  building  a 
testimonial  to  President  Northrop  was 
abandoned  when  it  was  announced  by  the 
regents  that  they  proposed  to  name  the 
new  library  building,  which  will  be  the 
most  imposing  building  on  the  campus, 
Northrop  Hall. 


Since  its  organization  the  Union  has  been 
a  positive  force  in  University  life.  In  the 
fall  of  1909  a  two-day  carnival  was  held 
in  the  University  Armory;  the  carnival 
was  a  great  success  and  netted  the  Union 
a  few  hundred  dollars.  The  next  year, 
igio,  a  play,  written  by  Edgar  Allen,  "The 
Prof  and  the  Princess,"  was  put  on  by 
members  of  the  Union  at  the  Princess 
theatre.  All  parts  in  the  cast  being  taken 
by  men.  This  was  a  great  success  and 
aroused  great  interest  throughout  the  city 
as  well  as  on  the  campus.  A  year  later. 
191 1,  the  Union  put  on,  at  the  Shubert 
theatre,  "The  Girl  in  the  Moon,"  all  parts 
being  taken  by  men.  This  play  was  like- 
wise written  by  Mr.  Allen  and  received 
with  great  enthusiasm  by  the  public,  being 
a  success  in  every  way.  The  Union  had 
charge  of  the  business  management  of  the 
May  Fete,  which  was  a  great  financial  as 
well  as  social  success.  The  Union  has  also 
held  two  informal  get-togethers  at  the  Uni- 
versity Armory  which  were  unqualified 
successes.  In  the  spring  of  1913,  the  Union 
gave  an  All-University  circus  on  Northrop 
Field.  Three  performances  were  given  in 
two  days.  The  afifair  was  a  financial  as 
well  as  spectacular  success.  Real  co-op- 
eration between  the  various  departments 
of  the  University  to  make  the  affair  a 
genuine   success   resulted   in   the  promotion

of  a  sense  of  University  fellowship  that 
was  really  worth  while. 

The  Union  has  from  its  first  inception, 
stood  for  one  thing  above  all  others — the 
buildin<r  up  of  a  proper  University  spirit 
among  the   men   of  the   University. 

Minnetonka  Fruit  Farm,  The.  The  Leg- 
islature of  i^/S,  March  8,  authorized  the 
regents  to  purchase  a  fruit  farm  at  Minne- 
tonka at  a  cost  of  not  to  exceed  $2,000. 
The  farm,  116  acres,  was  purchased  of 
Culver  &  Farrington.  The  money  to  pay 
for  this  land  was  taken  out  of  current  ex- 
pense account,  $800,  and  the  balance, 
$1,200,  from  the  fund  received  from  the 
sale  of  the  Congressional  land  grant  of 
July  2,  1862.  The  provisions  of  the  act  re- 
quired that  this  land  be  used  to  conduct 
experiments  in  apple  and  other  fruit  trees, 
under  the  direction  of  a  person  to  be  ap- 
pointed by  the  governor  and  an  annual  ap- 
propriation, of  $1,000  was  made  for  carry- 
i"rr  out  t'^e  nrovisions  of  the  act.  Peter 
Gideon,  of  Excelsior,  who  had  originated 
the  Wealthy  apple,  was  appointed  by  the 
governor  in  conformity  with  the  provi- 
sions of  the  act.  For  ten  years  this  farm 
was  maintained,  and  many  experiments  of 
value,  were  conducted.  The  horticultural 
department  of  the  experimental  station  was 
found  to  be  able  to  carry  on  these  exper- 
iments fully  as  successfully  as  on  this  farm 
and  the  legislature  of  1889,  authorized  the 
regents  to  sell  this  farm,  repealing  the  act 
authorizing  its  purchase  and  providing  for 
carrying  on  experiments  on  the  same.  The 
sale  of  the  farm  was  left  to  the  discretion 
of  the  board  of  regents.  Real  estate  values 
fell  and  the  regents  were  unable  to  make 
a  sale  upon  terms  that  seemed  as  satisfac- 
tory until  1896,  when  forty  acres  were 
sold  for  $8,000.  The  last  sale  was  made 
in  December,  1901,  and  the  total  amount 
realized  from  the  sale  was  $16,469.43.  Of 
this  sum  $1,309.10,  were  turned  back  into 
the  permanent  University  fund,  to  reim- 
burse that  fund  for  money  advanced  on  the 
purchase  price  of  the  farm,  the  balance 
going  into  the  general  University  current 
expense  fund.  This  was  the  first  purchase 
of  land,  made  for  strictly  experimental 
purposes,  in  connection  with  the  Univer- 
sity or  any  of  its  departments,  other  pur- 
chases haying  been  made  for  illustrative 
purposes    in    connection    with    instruction.

Model  School.  The  University  main- 
tains a  model  school  in  connection  with  the 
college  of  education.  This  school  was 
established  in  November  1907  and  work 
was  offered  covering  the  7th  and  8th 
grades.  At  that  time  Professors  Rankin 
and  Holt  were  in  charge  of  the  school.  A 
year  later  Dr.  Alice  Mott  took  charge  of 
the  school  and  has  been  in  charge  of  it 
since.  At  the  present  time  the  school  en- 
rolls pupils  from  the  7th  to  the  12th  grades 
inclusive.  The  primary  purpose  of  the 
school  is  to  afiford  prospective  high  school 
teachers  an  opportunity  to  see  the  work 
of  secondary  schools  conducted,  under  nor- 
mal conditions,  in  as  efificient  manner  as 
possible,  and  in  order  to  give  them  some 
actual  practice  and  familiarity  with  meth- 
ods of  instruction  and  management  of 
schools  of  such  grade.  It  is  planned,  as 
soon  as  possible,  to  have  a  fully  graded 
elementary  school  with  kindergarten,  an 
ungraded  room  and  a  three-grade  group. 
Up  to  the  present  time  the  work  has  been 
conducted  in  an  old  frame  dwelling  house 
on  P)eacon  street.  It  is  hoped  that  in  the 
near  future  it  will  be  possible  to  make  pro- 
vision for  this  work  in  a  building  specially 
constructed   for  the    purpose.

public  lands  to  the  more  complete  endow- 
ment and  support  of  the  colleges  for  the 
benefit  of  agriculture  and  mechanic  arts, 
established  under  the  provisions  of  an  act 
of  Congress  approved  July  2,  1862."  It 
is  directed  to  the  better  support  of  agri- 
cultural education,  rather  than  investiga- 
tion, save  as  investigation  is  a  part  of  edu- 
cation. Under  its  provisions  the  University 
receives  annually  $25,000.  Originally  the 
bill  provided  for  an  annual  appropriation 
of  $15,000,  with  an  increase  of  $1,000  each 
year  until  the  sum  reached  the  $25,000 
which   the   bill   now   carries.

Nelson  Bill.  The  Nelson  bill  is  practi- 
cally an  amendment  to  the  Morrill  bill, 
which  was  for  the  encouragement  of  agri- 
cultural education,  as  distinct  from  agri- 
cultural investigation.  It  was  approved 
March  4,  1907,  and  appropriated  $5,000  for 
1907,  and  $5,000  more  for  each  of  the  fol- 
lowing four  years,  until  it  reaches  a  maxi- 
mum of  $25,000,  doubling  the  appropriation 
carried  by  the  Morrill  bill.  The  money 
provided  by  this  bill  is  to  be  used  strictly 
for  agricultural  education  and  no  part  of  it 
can  go  for  general  expenses,  to  include  the 
mechanical  arts.

Ninety  (Class  of)  Fellowship.  The  class 
of  1890  at  graduation  undertook  to  estab- 
lish a  fellowship  as  a  class  memorial.  It 
was  hoped  to  make  the  fellowship  an  an- 
nual affair  and  plans  were  made  and  an 
agreement  entered  into  with  the  Univer- 
sity fellowship  association  to  bring  this 
about.  The  plans  did  not  work  out  as  had 
been  expected  and  the  arrangements  were 
finall}'  given  up.  The  class  requested  the 
Fellowship  association  to  return  to  it  the 
money  already  advanced.  This  request 
was  granted  and  the  class  committee  took 
charge.  In  1902  this  committee  found  it 
was  in  possession  of  sufficient  funds  to 
award  the  fellowship  and  Charles  E. 
Stangeland  of  the  class  of  1901  was  ap- 
pointed. Mr.  Stangeland  spent  a  year  in 
Germany,  making  his  chief  line  of  work 
economics,  studying  with  Schmaller,  Wag- 
ner and  Sering;  his  secondary  line  was  pol- 


itics, studying  under  Gierke  and  von  Mar- 
tels,  and  anthropology,  studying  with  von 
Luschan.  The  subject  of  his  thesis  was 
"Pre-Malthusian  Doctrines  of  Popula- 
tion." This  thesis  fills  an  octavo  volume 
of  358  pages  which  was  pubished  by  Col- 
umbia University  Press.  Dr.  Stangeland 
has  given  in  this  thesis  an  exhaustive  re- 
view of  ancient,  mediaeval,  and  modern 
theories  of  population  down  to  the  19th 
Century.  The  fund  has  now  reached  $1,500, 
and  the  class  has  definitely  arranged  to 
make  this  up  to  $2,000  on  or  before  its 
25th  aniversary  reunion  when  the  fund  will 
be  turned  over  to  the  University,  its  in- 
come to  be  awarded  probably  every  other 
year.  A  committee  consisting  of  Messrs. 
Walter  E.  Winslow,  E.  P.  Allen  and  H.  G. 
Richardson  are  in  charge  of  the  fund.

from  the  proceeds  of  an  appropriation  of 
$65,000  made  by  the  legislature  of  191 1.  It 
includes  240  acres,  located  about  seven 
miles  north  of  the  Union  Depot  at  Du- 
luth.  The  total  cost  was  $13,500.  The  pur- 
chase was  finally  made  late  in  the  summer 
of  1912  and  actual  operations  on  the  farm 
were  begun  in  the  spring  of  1913.  60  acres 
have  been  cleared  and  it  is  proposed  to 
clear  additional  land  and  to  erect  a  horse 
barn,  dairy  barn,  superintendent's  house, 
farm  house,  machine  shed  and  possibly  a 
creamery  and  several  small  cottages.  The 
farm  is  divided  into  dairy,  trucking,  poul- 
try, fruit,  and  home  croft  units.  Three  lines 
of  work  are  being  carried  on — demonstra- 
tion and  experiment  work  in  relation  to 
the  farm  needs  of  this  section  of  the  state. 
The  farm  also  provides  for  a  continuation 
school  to  give  graduates  of  the  school  of 
agriculture  practical  farm  experience.  The 
legislature  of  1913  appropriated  $17,200  for 
further  development  and  maintenance  of 
this  station.  I\I.  J.  Thompson,  Ag.  '11,  is 
superintendent.

ings  were  bitterly  contested  by  the  regents, 
and  the  case  was  carried  to  the  supreme 
court,  which  handed  down  a  decision,  in 
favor  of  the  railroad,  holding  that  the  loca- 
tion of  the  tracks  "eight  hundred  feet  from 
the  University  building"  could  not  be  con- 
sidered   objectionable. 

While  the  tracks  have  always  been  a 
source  of  disturbance  and  a  serious  dam- 
age to  the  University,  the  purchase  of  ad- 
ditional land  for  the  campus,  to  the  south 
of  these  tracks,  brought  up  the  question 
again,   in   an   acute   form. 

The  legislature  of  1909  passed  an  act 
requiring  the  'Northern  Pacific  Railway 
company  to  cover  its  tracks  through  the 
University    campus. 

Up  to  early  in  1913  nothing  had  been 
done  to  enforce  this  law.  The  attorney 
general,  whose  duty  it  was  to  bring  ac- 
tion, in  the  name  of  the  state,  to  enforce 
the  law,  asked  to  have  a  committee  of 
alumni  appointed,  to  act  in  his  name,  and 
bring  action  against  the  company.  A  com- 
mittee consisting  of  C.  J.  Rockwood,  Hugh 
V.  Mercer,  Price  Wickersham,  Hiram  D. 
Frankel  and  Paul  J.  Thompson,  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. This  committee  will  bring  action  to 
enforce  the  law  but  it  is  hoped  that  the 
Northern  Pacific  Railway  company  may  be 
ready  to  accept  some  compromise  that 
will  allow  of  the  complete  elimination  of 
the   tracks. 

North,  John  W.,  St.  Anthony.  Treas- 
urer, but  not  a  member,  of  the  board  of 
regents  during  its  organization  from  1851- 
60.  To  Colonel  North,  more  than  to  any 
other  one  man,  belongs  the  credit  of  start- 
ing the  movement  which  resulted  in  the 
establishment  of  the  University  of  Minne- 
sota. He,  it  was,  who  framed  the  act 
which  was  adopted  by  the  University  Feb- 
ruary 13,  1851,  as  the  charter  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Northrop,  Book  of  Addresses.  During 
the  summer  of  1910  President  Northrop 
issued,  through  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Co.,  a 
volurne  of  addresses.  'These  addresses," 
explains  President  Northrop  in  the  preface, 
"are  published,  not  because  I  suppose  they 
are  a  contribution  to  human  knowledge, 
but  simply  because  friends  have  asked  me 
to  publish  them.  Most  of  the  addresses 
delivered  by  me  when  I  was  connected 
with  Yale  college  were  unwritten  and  can- 
not therefore  be  reproduced.  Only  two  of 
the   addresses  belong  to   that  period."

Gopher  of  1901,  pp. 234-241.  President 
Northrop  has  been  in  almost  constant  de- 
mand for  public  addresses  since  coming  to 
the  University.  He  has  lectured  to  the  stu- 
dents upon  Shakespearean  topics,  mainly. 
At  national  meetings  of  various  church 
bodies,  particularly  the  Congregational,  he 
has  had  a  leading  part  and  his  addresses 
upon  such  occasions  have  usually  struck  the 
key  note  of  the  occasion.  His  short  talks  to 
students  after  chapel  have  made  their  im- 
press on  the  lives  of  the  vast  throngs  of 
students  who  have  been  privileged  to  hear 
them.  He  has  published  nothing  but 
pamphlets  of  his  various  addresses  and  one 
collected  volume  of  the  same.  Phi  Beta

Northrop  Field.  An  enclosed  athletic 
field  containing  about  six  acres,  imme- 
diately adjoining  the  armory.  It  is  sur- 
rounded by  a  high  brick  wall,  the  gift  of 
A.  F.  Pillsbury,  Law  '94,  and  is  one  of  the 
finest  athletic  fields  in  the  country.  The 
whole  enclosure  is  covered  with  turf;  and 
excellent  running  tracks,  a  base  ball  dia- 
mond and  tennis  and  football  grounds  art 
laid  out.  The  grandstand  and  bleechers 
will  provide  seats  for  from  fifteen  to  twen- 
ty thousand. 

The  acquiring  of  this  magnificent  field 
is  due  largely  to  Governor  Pillsbury,  who 
purchased  six  lots  between  Union  and  Har- 
vard streets  and  between  Arlington  streei 
and  University  avenue.  He  enlisted  the 
aid  of  some  prominent  alumni  in  the  city, 
and  secured  the  vacation  of  Union  street 
from  Arlington  to  University  avenue  and 
of  Arlington  street  from  Harvard  to  the 
river.  The  state  purchased  four  lots,  thus 
giving  the  University  the  whole  block  ana 
the  vacated  streets,  to  be  added  to  the  or- 
iginal field,  which  extended  to  Union  street 
only.  The  gift  was  planned  by  Governor 
Pillsbury  and  was  consummated  by  his 
heirs,  after  his  death,  December  22,  1902 
and   December  21,    1903.

Northrop  Testimonial.  On  June  8,  1910, 
the  alumni  presented  to  President  North- 
rop an  engrossed  address  reciting  their 
appreciation  of  his  services  to  the  Uni- 
versity and  expressing  their  love  and  de- 
votion to  him.  A  specially  bound  volume 
of  Forty  Years  of  the  University  of  Min-.

North  Star,  A  society  of  young  men  and 
women  of  the  school  of  agriculture  organ- 
ized for  literary  training. 

Northwest  (Crookston)  School  of  Agri- 
culture and  Experiment  Station.  This  sta- 
tion and  school  is  located  one  and  one-half 
miles  north  of  Crookston  on  land  donated 
to  the  State  in  1894  by  James  J.  Hill,  of 
the  Great  Northern  railway  company.  The 
station  was  established  by  legislative  act 
in  1895.  when  $8,000  were  appropriated  by 
the  legislature  to  make  a  beginning  of  in- 
vestigations and  experiments  to  determine 
the  best  methods  of  handling  soil  typical 
of  a  large  region  in  that  part  of  the  State. 
The  land  is  a  dark  clay  loam,  very  hard 
to  work.  It  is  low  and  drainage  was  ab- 
solutely necesary  before  the  land  could  be 
used.  There  are  on  the  farm,  two  miles  of 
open  ditches  and  nine  miles  of  tile  drain- 
age and  the  farm  has  been  put  in  shape  to 
grow  fair  crops.  Following  these  experi- 
ments the  station  was  to  determine  the 
proper  rotation  of  crops  and  devise  plans 
to  combat  the  weeds  and  insects  found  in 
that  part  of  the  State.  In  addition,  work 
in  dairying,  live  stock  raising,  poultry,  tree 
and  orchard  growing  on  prairie  lands  were 
objects    for    special    investigation.      Torger 


Hoverstad  was  in  charge  of  the  station 
from  its  beginning  to  1904  and  is  largely 
responsible  for  the  success  of  the  early 
work  of  the  station.  William  Robertson 
followed  him  and  was  in  charge  until  1910, 
when  he  died.  It  was  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Robertson  that  the  school  was  es- 
tablished. 

The  Northwest  school  of  agriculture 
was  established  by  the  legislature  of  1905 
and  $15,000  was  appropriated  for  a  building 
and  equipment,  but  no  provision  for  the 
maintenance  of  the  school  was  made.  The 
citizens  of  Crookston  raised  $2,500  and  oi- 
fered  it  to  the  regents  so  that  school  might 
,be  started  in  the  year  1907-08.  This  offer 
'was  accepted  and  the  school  was  opened 
with  an  attendance  of  over  thirty.  The 
legislature  of  1907  made  further  provision 
for  this  school  by  appropriating  $4,000  an- 
nually for  its  maintenance  and  $50,000  for 
dormitory  and  equipment,  and  $15,000  for 
industrial  building.  The  state  also  reim- 
bursed the  citizens  of  Crookston  who  ad- 
vanced the  $2,500  used  originally  to  start 
the   school. 

At  the  present  time  this  station  has  the 
following  farm  buildings,  constructed  in 
the  year  specified  and  at  the  cost  designat- 
ed; Farm  house,  1895.  $3,000;  Poultry 
house,  1897,  $1,000;  Horse  barn,  1901, 
$6,500;  Superintendent's  residence,  1905, 
$3,000;  Machinery  shed,  1905,  $500;  Dairy 
barn,  1905,  $2,500;  Root  cellar,  1909;  $1,000; 
Slaughter  house  1909,  $1,000;  Swine  barn, 
1909,  $1,500;  four  cottages  for  station  men, 

1911,  $10,000;  Sheep  fold,  1911,  $1,500;  ad- 
ditions to  farm  house,  1911,  $1,500;  to  Su- 
perintendent's residence,  191 1,  $900;  to 
barns,  1911,  $4,000;  to  Poultry  houses,  1911, 
$2,000;    silos,    191 1,   $500. 

Six  brick  school  buildings  have  been  pro- 
vided up  to  the  present  time,  as  follows: 
School  building  (now  Home  Economics), 
1905,  $15,000;  Stephens  Hall  (Boy's  dormi- 
tory and  dining  hall  combined),  1907,  $50,- 
000;  Mechanical  building,  1907,  $15,000;  Ad- 
ministration building  (includes  an  auditor- 
ium and  gymnasium),  1909,  $40,000;  Girls' 
dormitory,   1909,   $25,000;   Science    Building, 

1912,  $40,000;  addition  to  ^Mechanical  Build- 
ing, 191 1,  $10,000;  various  items,  as  spur 
track,  alterations  and  repairs,  sidewalk  and 
curbing,  grading  and  grounds,  well  and 
pump,  water  works  system,  and  trees  and 
shrubbery,  191 1,  $12,990. 

Since  1910,  Mr.  C.  G.  Selvig  has  been 
in  charge  of  the  department  and  under  his 
leadership  the  station  and  school  have  been 
making  steady  progress.

Nurses,  School  for.  This  school  was  or- 
ganized in  1909  and  is  under  the  manage- 
rnent  of  the  faculty  of  the  college  of  medi- 
cine and  surgery  and  is  affiliated  with  the 
University  hospitals.  The  school  is  con- 
ducted not  merely  to  secure  suitable  hos- 
pital nursing  service,  but  to  furnish  a 
thorough  and  scientific  training  in  nurs- 
ing. Graduation  from  a  high  school  is  a 
pre-requisite.  The  course  of  study  covers 
three  years.  A  preliminary  course  of  six 
months  work  is  required  and  no  one  will 
be  advanced  who  does  not  pass  the  exam- 
inations required  at  the  end  of  four 
months.  The  next  two  months  are 
spent  in  the  hospital  in  practical  work 
and  training  in  the  economics  of  the 
service.  If,  in  this  work,  the  student 
demonstrates  aptitude  for  the  work, 
she  is  advanced  to  full  hospital  service. 
During  the  remainder  of  the  course  the 
students  pursue  a  graded  system  of  in- 
struction and  practical  work  that  gives 
them  an  all-around  training  not  otherwise 
to  be  obtained.  Graduates  of  the  school 
receive  the  degree  of  graduate  in  nursing. 
Graduate  work,  covering  one  or  two  years, 
leads  to  an  appropriate  certificate.  Fee  for 
the  preliminary   course  is  $25.00.

York."  Minnesota  has  won  two  out  of 
three  competitions.  The  work  on  both 
of  these  thesis  was  done  in  the  political

Old  Days  at  Minnesota.  By  Professors 
John  S.  Clark  and  John  C.  Hutchinson, 
Gopher  of  1908,  pp.  32-35- 

Oldest  Graduate.  The  first  class  to 
graduate  was  that  of  1873,  which  consisted 
of  two  members,  Warren  Clark  Eustis,  a 
physician  who  died  iVIay  28th,  1913,  and 
Henry  Martyn  Williamson,  secretary  of 
the  State  Board  of  Horticulture,  of  Port- 
land, Ore. 

Old  Main,  The.  R.  S.  Alden,  architect. 
Contract  let  for  west  wing,  August  9,  1856, 
to  Alden,  Cutler  &  Hall,  for  $49,600.  No 
money  in  sight  for  paying  for  this  build- 
ing, but  public  opinion  demanded  it  and 
with  property  advancing  as  it  was  at  that 
time  the  regents  figured  that  they  could 
pay  for  the  building  by  mortgaging  the 
camnus  for  $25,000;  notes  from  sale  of 
stumpage,  $20,000;  sale  of  old  buildings, 
$2,500;  bonds  authorized  by  the  legislature, 
$10,000,  making  a  total  of  $57,500,  to  meet 
a  certain  indebtedness  of  $64,600 — ^Con- 
tract price  for  building  and  bonds  secured 
on  campus,  $15,000.  Making  the  liabilities 
$7,100  in  excess  of  assets.  The  terrible 
panic  of  1857  came  on,  land  values  fell  off, 
the  Rum  River,  along  which  the  lumber 
for  which  stumpage  notes  were  held  by  the 
regents,  was  located,  dried  up  and  that 
source  of  revenue  was  cut  oflf.  The  legis- 
lature of  1858  authorized  the  issuing  of 
bonds  for  $40,000,  secured  on  lands  in  Pine, 
Mille  Lacs,  and  Sherburne  counties,  of 
the  congressional  grant.  Only  $34,200  was 
realized  from  this  sale  as  the  interest  on 
the  bonds,  $5,800,  had  to  be  paid  in  ad- 
vance. In  i860,  the  legislature  wiped  the 
old  organization  ofif  the  slate  and  appoint- 


ed three  regents,  Messrs.  Pillsbury,  Merri- 
man,  and  Nichols,  with  power  to  settle  the 
debts  of  the  institution,  which  then  amount- 
ed to  over  $72,000,  bearing  interest  at  12 
per  cent.  By  1864,  this  board  was  able  to 
report  the  debts  cleared  ofif  and  a  small 
surplus  on  hand.  The  building  and  cam- 
pus, had  thus  cost  the  State,  in  round  fig- 
ures, $125,000.  The  building  was  com- 
pleted, the  east  end  remaining  in  rough, 
unfinished  state  and  the  whole  wing  fall- 
ing into  general  disrepair,  until  1867,  when 
the  legislature  voted  $15,000  for  repairs. 
This  was  the  first  direct  appropriation  ever 
made  for  the  University  by  the  legislature. 
The  main  portion  of  the  building  was  built 
from  an  appropriation  of  $37,500,  made  in 
1872,  and  was  finished  so  that  the  main  hall 
was  occupied  for  commencement  in  June, 
i87>.  A  portion  of  the  west  wing  was  de- 
stroyed by  fire  in  1891;  the  top  floor  of  the 
main  portion  of  the  building  was  burned 
in  1892;  the  building  was  totally  destroyed 
by  fire  September  24,   1904.

THE  MINNESOTA 


One-Mile  Liquor  Law,  The.  A  state  law 
provides  that  "it  shall  be  unlawful  for  any 
person  to  sell  or  dispose  of  any  spirituous, 
vinous,  or  malt  liquors  within  tiie  distance 
of  one  mile  of  the  Main  Building  of  the 
University  of  Minnesota,  as  now  located 
in  the  city  of  Minneapolis;  provided,  that 
the  provisions  of  this  section  shall  not  ap- 
ply to  that  part  of  the  city  of  Minneapolis 
lying  on  the  west  side  of  the  Mississippi 
river." 

■  Orations.  A  book  of  152  pages  published 
by  Johnson  Brothers  and  Amos,  in  1886. 
It  contains  a  complete  file  of  all  orations 
delivered  at  the  Minnesota  inter-collegiate 
oratorical  contests  from  the  beginning  1881 
to    1886.      Bound   in  red   cloth. 

Oratorical  Association,  The.  This  as- 
sociation was   organized   in   1880. 

Oratory.  The  University  oratorical  as- 
sociation was  organized  in  1880,  for  the 
puf-ose  of  fostering  the  spirit  of  oratory 
in  the  University  and  for  holding  contests 
to  choose  representatives  to  compete  in 
the  state  league  which  held  an  annual  con- 
test for  the  purpose  of  selecting  a  repre- 
sentative to  represent  Minnesota  in  the 
inter-state  contest  held  each  year.  The 
state  league  was  made  up  of  the  University 
and  Carleton,  and  later,  in  1883,  Hamline 
came  into  the  league.  At  first  Minnesota 
was  represented  by  three  orators  in  the 
state  league,  but  with  the  coming  of  Ham- 
line,  the  number  was  reduced  to  two.  In 
1881.  Owen  Morris,  a  Carleton  man,  won 
first  place  and  the  honor  of  representing 
the  state,  though  Minnesota  representa- 
tives  won   second,  third  and  fourth   places, 

C.  M.  Webster,  W.  W.  Clark  and  F.  B. 
Snyder,  coming  in  the  order  mentioned. 
In  1882,  Minnesota  won  first,  fourth  and 
fifth  places,  her  representatives  being  W. 
\V  .  Clark,  S.  L.  Trussell  and  J.  C.  Wilson, 
coming  in  the  order  named.  In  1883,  Min- 
nesota won  first  and  second  places,  F.  N. 
Stacy,  then  a  freshman,  and  S.  D.  Cather- 
wood,  coming  in  the  order  mentioned.  In 
1884,  the  same  result  was  secured  and  the 
University  was  represented  by  John  W. 
Bennett  and  James  Gray,  in  the  order  men- 
tioned. In  1885,  Carleton  college  dropped 
out  of  the  league  and  Minnesota  took  sec- 
ond, third  and  fourth  places,  being  repre- 
sented by  F.  N.  Stacy,  T.  E.  Trussel,  and 
E.  R.  McKinney.  In  1886,  the  University 
took  first,  second  and  sixth  places  and  was 
represented  by  N.  M.  Cross,  F.  N.  Stacy, 
and  G.  E.  Burnell.  In  1887,  the  Univer- 
sity    was  represented  by  A.    B.    Gould,   J. 

D.  Hinshaw  and  Edward  Winterer,  and 
won  first  and  second  places.  In  1888,  the 
University  was  represented  by  J.  E.  Erf 
and  P.  R.  Benson,  who  won  second  and 
third  places  respectively.  Macalester  was. 
at  this  time,  admitted  into  the  league,  and 
signalized  her  en-trance  by  carrying  ofif 
first  honors.  In  1889,  Minnesota  was  rep- 
resented by  H.  D.  Dickinson  and  T.  G. 
Scares,   who    won    first   and   second    places 


respectively.  In  1890,  the  University  was 
represented  by  B.  H.  Timberlake  and  H. 
P.  Bailey,  who  won  first  and  second  places 
respectively.  In  1891,  ^Minnesota  was  rep- 
resented by  B.  H.  Timberlake  and  T.  G. 
Soares,  who  won  second  and  third  places. 
In  1892,  the  University  was  represented  by 
P.  J.  Neff  and  C.  S.  Pattee,  who  won  sec- 
ond and  third  places.  In  1893,  by  C.  S. 
Pattee  and  W.  A.  Smith,  and  took  first  and 
third  places.  In  1894,  by  Laura  Franken- 
field  and  J.  G.  Briggs,  Mr.  Briggs  took 
second  and  Miss  Frankenfield  fourth  place. 
In  i89t,  ^Minnesota  was  represented  by 
Clair  E.  Ames  and  Arthur  L.  Helliwell, 
Mr.  Helliwell  received  second  place  and 
Mr.  Ames  fourth.  In  1896,  Minnesota  was 
represented  by  A  Eliason  and  W.  Pender- 
gast,  who  took  first  and  second  places.  In 
1897,  the  University  was  represented  by 
Booth  and  Savage.  Mr.  Booth  won  first 
and  Mr.  Savage  third  place.  In  1898,  by 
E.  A.  Slocum  and  F.  E.  Force,  who  took 
third  and  fourth  places.  In  1899,  for  the 
first  time,  the  winner  of  first  place  in  the 
Pillsbury  contest,  was  sent  to  represent 
the  Universit}'  in  the  Northern  Oratorical 
League  contest  and  the  winners  of  second 
and  third  places  represented  the  University 
in  the  state  contest;  Joseph  W.  Beach,  won 
first  place  and  A.  J.  Finch  and  F.  G.  Sasse, 
second  and  third  and  so  represented  Min- 
nesota in  the  state  contest,  winning  second 
and  sixth  places.  In  1900,  W.  M.  Jerome 
won  first  place  in  the  Pillsbury  contest 
and  represented  the  state  in  the  N.  O.  L. 
contest,  while  H.  G.  Spaulding  and  W.  R. 
Hubbard,  won  second  and  third  and  repre- 
sented the  University  in  the  state  contest, 
where  they  won  second  and  third  honors. 
In  1901,  T.  D.  Schall,  won  first  and  went 
to  the  N.  O.  L.  contest  as  Minnesota's  rep- 
resentative, and  R.  L.  Dillman  and  O.  A. 
Lende,  represented  the  University  in  the 
state  contest.  Lende  got  fourth  place  and 
Dillman  was  debarred  on  a  technicality.

and    Northern    Oratorical    League. 

Ore-testing  Works.  This  building  is  lo- 
cated on  the  bank  of  the  ^Mississippi,  and 
was  erected  in  1894,  at  a  cost  of  $8,000. 
$4,100  of  this  sum  was  provided  by  the 
state  and  $3,900  by  private   subscription  of 


citizens  of  Minneapolis.  It  is  constructed 
of  white  brick  and  limestone  and  is  94  x 
66  feet.  The  building  provides  quarters 
for  the  work  indicated  by  its  name,  and 
contains  the  machinery  used  for  such  pur- 
poses.

Remarks — I.  The  collegiate  department, 
receiving  the  student  from  the  Latin 
school  or  from  the  public  high  school, 
brings  him,  in  the  course  of  four  years,  to 
the  end  of  the  second  (commonly  called 
the  Sophomores)  year  of  the  ordinary  col- 
lege course.  At  this  point  he  has  his  op- 
tion, whether,  equipped  with  the  fair  prep- 
aration for  special  studies  required  in  the 
collegiate  department,  to  enter  at  once 
some  one  of  the  professional  schools  as 
they  may  hereafter  be  established,  or  to 
proceed  with  higher  academic  studies, 
classical,  scientific  or  literary,  in  the  "col- 
lege of  science,  literature  and  the  arts," 
with  a  view  to  securing  the  best  and  full-

the  high  schools  can  take  the  work.  The 
University  begins  wherever  they  leave  off. 
It  is  hoped  that  not  very  many  years  may 
pass  before  the  whole  work  of  the  colleg-

those  schools.

of  winter  instruction;"  a  college  of  en- 
gineering offering  courses  in  civil  and  me- 
chanical   engineering   and   architecture. 

The  Latin  school  was  dropped  at  the 
end  of  the  college  year,  1873-74,  leaving  but 
two  years  of  preparatory  work,  as  the  Uni- 
versity now  counts  college  work.  The 
work  of  the  "fourth,"  or  sub-sub-freshman 
class,  was  dropped  at  the  end  of  the  col- 
lege year,  1875-76.  The  sub-freshman  class 
was  not  dropped  until  the  close  of  the  col- 
lege year,  1889-90. 

The  revised  plan  of  organization  which 
was  adopted  July,  1874,  may  be  found  in

Owatonna  Tree  Station.  The  Qwaton- 
na  Tree  Station  was  established  by  act  of 
the  legislature  in  1887.  Shortly  after  that 
the  board  of  regents  appointed  Mr.  E.  H. 
S.  Dartt,  superintendent.  Owing  to  diffi- 
culties in  getting  control  of  the  land  actual 
operations  were  not  begun  until  May  4, 
1888.  This  land  is  a  tract  of  five  acres  set 
aside  from  the  land  of  the  State  public 
school  on  the  west  side  of  Owatonna.  Its 
purpose  is  for  the  production  and  develop- 
ment of  new  varieties  of  fruits  and  the 
thorough   testing   of   fruits   and   trees. 

Mr.  Dartt  planted  thousands  of  apple 
trees  and  collected  a  large  number  of 
seedling  and  apple  trees,  giving  most  of 
his  attention  to  apples.  Upon  his  death 
in  January.  1903,  Mr.  Thomas  E.  Cashman, 
of  Owatonna,  was  made  superintendent 
and  has  continued  as  superintenden-t  ever 
since.

Pharmacy  Building  (formerly  Millard 
Hall)    was   completed    in   October,    1892,   at 


a  cost  of  $61,000.  The  building  is  three 
stories  high,  with  basement,  and  is  con- 
structed of  red  sandstone  and  cream-col- 
ored   brick,    the    basement    and    first    story

being-  of  sandstone.  It  has  a  frontage  of 
125  feet  and  provides  28,000  square  feet  of 
floor  space.  Originally  it  housed  all  of  the 
work  in  the  four  colleges  constituting  the 
department  of  medicine,  medicine  and  sur- 
gery, homeopathic  medicine  and  surgery, 
dentistry  and  pharmacy.  The  name,  Mil- 
lard Hall,  was  given  this  building  in  1906, 
in  honor  of  Perry  H.  Millard,  first  dean 
of  the  department  of  medicine.  Previous 
to  that  date  it  was  known  as  medical  hall. 
The  building  has  suffered  through  'fire 
four  times.  The  first  fire  was  July  22,  1905, 
loss  to  building,  $3,540.22;  contents, 
$3.333-45-  The  second  fire  occurred  Oc- 
tober 6.  1908,  when  the  anatomy  build- 
ing burned  and  injured  Millard  hall  to  the 
extent  of  $3,931.36.  A  very  serious  fire  oc- 
curred December  24,  1909,  the  loss  being- 
$30,785.27.  The  last  fire  was  that  of  March 
I,  1912,  when  the  entire  interior  was 
burned.  The  insurance  companies  paid  the 
University  $30,000.  Previous  to  this  fire 
the  legislature  had  appropriated  $75,000  to 
remodel  the  building  and  to  fit  it  up  for  the 
college  of  pharmacy.  This  amount,  together 
with  the  insurance  on  the  building,  enabled 
the  University  to  remodel  the  building  and 
make  it  absolutely  fire  proof,  and  at  the 
same  time  to  build  a  plant  house  for  the 
college  on  the  foundation  of  the  old  anat- 
omy building  and  to  connect  the  two  by 
an  underground  passageway.  The  building 
now  represents  a  total  value  of  about 
$140,000,  and  is  one  of  the  best  constructed 
buildings  on  the  campus. 

Pharmacy,  College  of.  This  college  was 
created  and  made  one  of  the  colleges  of 
the  department  of  medicine  in  1892,  the  leg- 
islature having  appropriated  the  sum  of 
$5,000  at  its  previous  session  for  the  initial 
expenses  of  the  college.  Frederick  J. 
Wulling,  professor  of  pharmaco-diagnosis 
of  the  Brooklyn  College  of  Pharmacy,  and 
formerly  of  the  faculty  of  the  Columbia 
University  College  of  Pharmacy,  was  made 
dean  soon  after  the  creation  of  the  college. 
The  college  more  than  meets  the  entrance 
requirements  of  the  American  Conference 
of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties,  and,  al- 
though in  accordance  with  a  tentative 
agreement  with  the  conference  as  well  as 
with  pharmacists  of  the  Northwest,  cer- 
tain students  who  have  not  had  a  full  high 
school  training,  but  who  have  had  drug 
store  experience  are  accepted  for  entrance. 
Nearly  all  matriculants  of  the  college  are 
nevertheless  high  school  graduates.  The 
faculty  will  very  soon  present  a  request  to 
the  regents  for  an  unqualified  high  school 
training  as  a  pre-requisite  to  matriculation 
in   the   college. 

By  a  recent  action  of  the  University  re- 
gents the  college  will  hereafter,  beginning 
with  the  year  1915,  give  the  degree  pharma- 
ceutical graduate.  Ph.  G.,  for  the  comple- 
tion of  the  regular  two-year  course,  and 
which  two-year  course  students  are  priv- 
leged  to  complete  in  three  years  if  they  so 
choose.  The  number  choosing  three  years 
for  the  completion  of  the  regular  course  is 
increasing         constantly.       The      following 


courses  have  also  been  authorized  by  the 
regents;  a  three-year  course  leading  to  the 
degree  pharmaceutical  chemist,  Ph.  C;  a 
four-year  course  leading  to  the  degree 
bachelor  of  science  in  pharmacy;  a  five- 
year  course  leading  to  the  degree  master 
of  science  in  pharmacy  and  a  six-year 
course  leading  to  the  degree  doctor  of 
pharmacy.  By  this  action  the  college  is 
retaining  its  full  recognition  by  the  educa- 
tion department  of  the  State  of  New  York 
and  is  equalling  the  requirements  and  fa- 
cilities of  the  best  of  the  colleges  of  phar- 
macy of  the  State  of  New  York,  that  col- 
lege also  requiring  not  less  than  six  years 
for  the  granting  of  the  degree  doctor  of 
pharmacy.  The  college  is  thus  aiding  in 
the  establishment  and  maintenance  of 
the  highest  pharmaceutical  educational 
standards. 

A    good   proportion    of   the    work    of   the 
college    is    carried   on   in   its   new   and   very 
adequately   equipped   laboratories,   and   this 
laboratory    work,    together    with    the    regu- 
lar  didactic    work,    is   very      comprehensive 
and    representative.     The    college    has      re- 
cently   removed    into    the    entirely    re-con- 
structed   and    fireproof    Old    Millard      hall, 
which    is   henceforth    to   be   known    as   The 
Pharmacy  Building.     A  legislative       appro- 
priation,  made  in   191 1   of  $75,000,  added  to 
an    available    fire    loss,   created    a   fund    ap- 
proximating  $110,000,    the    greater    part    of 
which    has    already    been    expended    in    the 
re-construction^    of    the     building    .and     its 
equipment.     Everything   in    the   building   is 
new  except  the  outer  walls  and  part  of  the 
hallway.     Within    the    walls    and    anchored 
to  them  there  is  erected  a  substantial  steel 
and  cement  structure,  fireproof  in  every  re- 
spect.    The    building   is    equipped   with   hot 
hot  and  cold  water,   steam   under  pressure, 
gas,  air  pressure,  steam  heating  with   ther- 
mostatic   control    in    every    room,      electric 
current  for  light  and  power,  vacuum  clean- 
ing system,  electric  fan  ventilating  system, 
elevator,    inter-communicating      telephones, 
metal  weather  strips,  metal  screens  and  im- 
ported washable  window  shades.     The  new 
furniture,    including    work    tables    for    stu- 
dents,   cupboards,    shelving,       lockers       for 
stock,    library    stacks,    filing    cabinets,    safe 
cabinets,  tables,  etc.,  is  all  made  of  a  heavy 
gauge    steel   and   covered    with    olive    green 
baked-on  enamel.     The  building  is  full  four 
stories  high,  60x115  feet  in  dimensions.  The 
facilities   of  the   college  have   been   greatly 
enhanced      by      the      establishment      of      a 
medicinal       plant        garden      three      years 
ago    and      by      the      erection      of    a    medi- 
cinal   plant    house    and    laboratory    on    the 
old    anatomy    building    ruins    adjoining    the 
pharmacy  building  proper.     The     medicinal 
plant    garden    has    already    received   world- 
wide   attention    and    has    been    the    subject 
of  articles   not   only  in   European   technical 
journals,    but    in    South    American    as    well. 
The  plant  house  and  laboratory  is  the  only 
building  of  its  kind  in  this  country,  and  in 
some  respects  is  superior  to  those  of  lead- 
ing colleges   of  pharmacy  of   Europe. 
The    fee    for   the    regular   course    is   $165,

stallments. 

The  State  Board  of  Pharmacy  meets  at 
the  college  four  times  each  year  to  exam- 
ine candidates  for  registration  as  pharma- 
cists. Graduates  of  this  college  are  ad- 
mitted to  State  Board  examinations  wher- 
ever standards  of  efficiency  are  established 
and  its  diploma  is  recognized  in  all  states 
that  recognize  diplomas  at  all. 

Pharmacy  Green  House.  This  building 
was  erected  in  1900  at  a  cost  of  $15,000. 
It  is  35x60  feet  on  the  ground,  a  two  story 
and  basement  building.  Originally  it  was 
designed  for  the  use  of  the  department  of 
anatomy  and  provided  the  necessary  fea- 
tures for  such  a  departure,  including  an 
amphitheatre  which  seated  seventy-five 
students,  dissecting  rooms,  cold  storage 
vauts,  etc.  Two  fires  caused  a  thorough 
overhauling  of  the  building,  when  a  final 
fire  which  occurred  October  5,  igo8,  de- 
stroyed it  beyond  possibility  of  re-construc- 
tion. At  the  request  of  the  college  of 
Pharmacy  the  regents  caused  the  buiding 
to  be  razed  to  its  foundation  and  erected 
thereon  a  green  house  for  the  use  of  the 
college  of  Pharmacy.  In  this  green  house 
medicinal  plants  are  cultivated,  furnishing 
material  for  laboratory  work  the  year 
around.  The  building,  before  its  final  de- 
struction by  fire,  represented,  with  equip- 
ment, upward  of  $25,000.  It  is  now  valued 
at  $15,000.

Phi  Alpha  Gamma.  Established  at  New 
York  Homeopathic  Medical  College  in 
1894.  Minnesota  chapter  established  in 
1897. 

Phi  Beta  Kappa  (Alpha  chapter  in  Min- 
nesota) was  established  December  13,  1892. 
It  has  357  members  and  elects  each  year 
one-twelfth  of  the  senior  class  of  the  col- 
leges of  science,  literature  and  the  arts  and 
education.  Election  to  membership  is 
based  mainly  on  scholarship,  though  it  is 
provided  that  graduates  and  persons  dis- 
tinguished in  letters,  science  or  education 
may  be  elected.  Its  purpose  is  the  pro- 
motion of  scholarship  and  friendship 
among  students  and  graduates  of  Ameri- 
can colleges.  Phi  Kappa  stands  for  schol- 
arship in  all  the  elements  of  a  liberal  edu- 
cation, specialization  in  one  department 
being  recognized  only  if  based  upon  ex- 
cellence in  others.  The  society  desires 
neither  those  who  by  mere  plodding  have 
attained  to  average  excellence  in  several 
lines  of  study  without  giving  evidence  of 
superior  interest  and  ability  in  any,  nor 
those  who  have  shown  power  in  a  single 
direction  to  the  exclusion  of  an  intelligent 
interest  in  others.  The  society  provides 
occasional  addresses  by  distinguished 
speakers  and  holds  an  annual  initiation,  at 
which  an  address  is  given  by  the  president 
of  the  chapter.  There  was  a  general  re- 
vision of  the  constitution  and  by-laws 
adopted  in   1905.

Physical      Education,      Department      of. 

Men's  division  embraces  the  gymnasium, 
with  a  variety  of  gymnastic  appliances, 
1,200  lockers,  32  shower  baths  and  a  reg- 
ulation swimming  pool.  The  object  of  the 
department  is  to  provide  all  the  students 
of  the  University  opportunity  for  exercise 
to  build  up  their  general  health.  It  also 
provides  special  training  to  correct  physi- 
cal defects  and  functional  derangements, 
as  well  as  recreative  and  competitive 
games.  The  department  is  in  charge  of  a 
professional  medical  director  and  assist- 
ants, and  the  training  is  under  their  direct 
supervision.  A  physical  examination  is  re- 
quired of  all  new  matriculants  and  others 
using  the  department  privileges,  and  a 
record  is  made  of  the  same.  The  exami- 
nation of  these  records  shows  a  marked 
improvement  in  the  standard  of  health  of 
the  average  student  during  his  college 
course. 


The  department  privileges  are  extended 
to  all  men  of  the  University  who  conform 
to    the    customary    regulations. 

In  some  of  the  colleges  and  schools  of 
the  University  attendance  in  gymnasium 
is  re<|uircd   of  all  freshmen. 

Physical  Education  for  Women.  The 
department  is  intended  to  look  after  the 
health  of  the  women  students  of  the  Uni- 
versity. New  students  are  examined  and 
advised,  conducts  systematic  yearly  con- 
sultations and  examines  when  necessary 
upper  class  students.  Courses  in  hygiene 
are  offered,  and  the  work  in  physical  train- 
ing is  organized  so  as  to  meet  the  needs 
and  tastes  of  the  students  as  far  as  pos- 
sible. Close  co-operation  with  the 
woman's  athletic  association  is  maintained 
and  athletic  sports  are  organized  and  en- 
couraged. Cases  of  illness  in  dormitories 
and  boarding  houses  are  investigated  and 
a  sanitary  inspection  of  boarding  houses 
for  young  women  is  conducted.  Suitable 
e.xercise  is  advised  in  the  case  of  all  in- 
coming students  and  required  of  those 
whose  physical  condition  indicates  the 
need   of   such   training. 

At  the  present  time  the  department  is 
housed  in  the  north  wing  of  the  Armory. 
An  appropriation  of  $125,000  was  made  by 
the  legislature  of  1913  for  a  gymnasium 
for  women.  The  building  will  be  erected 
in  the  near  future  adjoining  Alice  Shevlin 
Hall.  The  department  is  in  charge  of  Dr. 
Anna   Norris. 

Physics  Building.  This  building  cost 
$55,600.  This  was  provided  by  two  appro- 
priations, one  of  $25,000  in  1899,  and  one 
of  $50,000,  in  1901,  the  balance  of  the  ap- 
propriation went  into  equipment.  The 
building  is  practically  fire  proof  and  is  two 
stories  high,  with  high  basement.  It  is 
built  of  light  tinted  brick  and  is  68x115 
feet.  It  provides  23,500  square  feet  of 
floor  space  for  the  department  of  physics 
to  whose  use  it  is  wholly  devoted.  The 
basement  contains  laboratories  for  ad- 
vanced   research    work,    dark    room   for   re- 


search work  in  optics,  rooms  and  appa- 
ratus for  the  production  of  liquid  air,  a 
constant  temperature  room,  battery  room, 
students  work  shop  and  mechanical  room, 
precision  room,  an  electric  standard  room 
and  janitor  and  toilet  rooms.  The  first 
floor  is  provided  with  office  rooms  with 
fire  proof  vaults  attached,  two  recitation 
rooms,  28x34  feet,  private  laboratory  and

Phi  Beta  Nu.  An  honorary  society 
founded  by  the  seniors  of  the  class  of  1888, 
whose  object  was  to  promote  the  study  of 
science,  literature  and  the  arts  and  to 
mark  distinguished  merit  in  faithful  per- 
formance of  duties  at  the  University  of 
Minnesota.  The  founders  were  Helmus 
Wells  Thompson,  Albert  Graber,  William 
Dodsworth  Willard,  Albert  Ames  Finch 
and  Ulysses  Sherman  Grant.  The  mem- 
bership was  not  based  wholly  on  marks, 
but  lists  of  men  recommended  by  the  va- 
rious departments  of  the  University  sub- 
mitted lists  of  the  men  they  considered 
the  strongest  in  the  junior  class,  these 
were  arranged  in  order  of  designated  pref- 
erence, and  the  first  ten  chosen  as  a  ten- 
tative list,  and  the  outgoing  members 
elected  five  from  this  list,  to  constitute 
the  society  for  the  following  year.  This  so- 
ciety continued  in  existence  until  the  estab- 
lishment of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  a  national 
society  of  similar  aims  and  ends,  Decem- 
ber 13,  1892.

Pillsbury  Hall.  So  named  in  honor  of 
its  donor.  Governor  John  S.  Pillsbury, 
who  erected  the  building  in  1889,  at  a  cost 
of  $131,000,  and  presented  it  to  the  state. 
The  building  is  two  hundred  forty-five 
feet  long,  and  is  constructed  of  sandstone, 
the  basement  of  red  and  the  upper  sto- 
ries of  white  with  an  occasional  red  stone 
mixed  in.  The  building  is  a  two  story  and

Point  System.  The  young  women  of 
the  University  have  adopted  a  point  sys- 
tem to  govern  the  honors  which  anj'' 
young  woman,  in  anj-^  class  in  the  Univer- 
sity may  attain.  The  plan  is  to  attach 
a  certain  number  of  points  valuation  to 
each  office  to  which  any  women  in  the 
University  may  be  elected  and  to  fix  the 
number  of  points  which  any  young  woman 
may  receive  in  any  one  year  of  her  college 
course.  Seniors  and  juniors  may  attain  30 
points,  sophomores  20  and  freshmen  10 
points.     The  valuation   of  the  offices  varies 


from  25  points  for  the  presidency  of  the 
woman's  self  government  association  to 
five  points  for  chairmanship  of  commit- 
tees. The  idea  being  to  secure  a  greater 
distribution  of  honors  and  responsibilities 
and  to  prevent  the  over-burdening  of  a 
few  with  too  many  public  duties.

Postelsia.  The  yearbook  of  the  Min-

igoi  and  contains  seven  essays.  Vol.  II. 
was  issued  in  1906  and  contains  seven  es-

Postoffice.  The  University  postoffice 
was  originally  owned  and  controlled  by 
the  University  and  managed  by  the  reg- 
istrar. With  the  growth  of  the  University 
this  branch  became  too  much  of  a  burden 
to  be  cared  for  and  was  taken  over  by 
the  proprietor  of  the  University  book  store 
and  was  managed  by  him  for  several 
years.  When  the  book  store  removed  from 
the  campus,  the  postoffice  was  managed  by 
the  business  manager  of  the  Ariel,  who 
employed  a  stenographer  to  take  charge  of 
the  office,  the  fees  for  boxes  paying  the 
necessary  expenses.  The  post  office  was 
finally  placed  in  charge  of  Miss  Clara 
Poucher,  who  devoted  her  whole  time  to 
the  work,  receiving  the  rental  fees  for  her 
services.  Later,  1904,  J.  C.  Poucher,  a 
brother  of  Miss  Poucher,  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  postof^ce  and  has  continued 
in  charge  to  this  day.  The  postoffice  was 
formerly  located  in  the  basement  of  the 
old  main  building,  but  when  that  build- 
ing was  burned,  it  was  removed  to  the  ro- 
tunda of  the  library  building.  With  the 
completion  of  Folwel  hall,  in  1907,  the  post- 
office  was  transferred  to  room  25,  set 
apart  for  the  purpose. 

In  191 1  the  University  took  over  the 
postoffice  again  and  employed  Mr.  Poucher 
to  take  charge  of  it.  In  the  fall  of  1912 
the  postoffice  was  again  moved  to  the 
basement  of  the  old  Mechanic  Arts  build- 
ing, which  had  been;  remodeled  for  its 
use.

THE  MINNESOTA 


Benj.  F.  Groat,  Eng.  'oi.  The  engineering 
alumni  took  up  the  suggestion  with  en- 
thusiasm and  since  Mr.  Groat's  suggestion, 
which  was  made  early  in  the  year  1909-IO, 
have  been  pushing  the  proposition  to  se- 
cure for  the  University  the  benefits  of  the 
power  to  be  developed  at  this  dam.  A 
fair  statement  of  the  proposition  may  be 
found  in  the  Minnesota  Alumni  Weekly 
of  January  10,  1910.  Progress  has  been 
made  and  at  the  meeting  of  the  engineer- 
ing alumni  held  April  3,  1913,  Mr.  E.  P. 
Burch  reported  upon  the  matter  very  fully. 
His  report  will  be  found  in  the  Minneso- 
ta Alumni  Weekly  of  April   7,   1913. 


Chemistry  Building-,  Department  of  Agriculture 

Power  House.  This  building  was  erect- 
ed in  1887  at  a  cost  of  $18,000.  It  has 
been  remodeled  at  various  times  at  an  ad- 
ditional cost  of  $43,000.  At  the  present 
time  $26,000  additional  are  available  for 
additional  changes.  When  these_  changes 
have  been  made  the  building  will  repre- 
sent an  investment  of  $87,000  with  its 
equipment.     This  includes  heat  mains,   etc.

Preparatory  Department.  This  depart- 
ment was  organized  by  the  special  board 
of  three  regents  and  opened  for  instruc- 
tion October  7,  1867.  The  legislature  of 
the  previous  year  had  made  an  appropria- 
tion of  $15,000  "to  be  expended  in  repairing 
and  furnishing  the  University  building,  and 
for  the  employment  of  a  teacher  or  teach- 
ers for  the  purpose  of  commencing  the 
grammar  and  normal  department  of  the 
University  of  Minnesota."  This  sum  was 
spent  as  follows:  $5,804.38  for  current  ex- 
pense, including  salaries,  and  the  balance 
for  repairs.  The  faculty  of  this  school 
consisted  of  W.  W.  Washburn,  principal 
and  instructor  in  German  and  Latin,  Ira 
Moore,  mathematics,  E.  H.  Twining,  nat- 
ural science,  and  A.  J.  Richardson,  Eng- 
lish branches.  The  attendance,  during  the 
first  session  was  72,  of  which  number  16 
were  young  women.  The  enrollment  of 
the  second  session  was  109,  including  35 
women.  The  enrollment  for  the  third  ses- 
sion       was       146,       including      38      young 


women.  The  formal  organization  adopted 
by  the  regents  and  the  election  of 
the  first  University  faculty,  August  23, 
1869,  closed  this  chapter  of  University  his- 
tory. 

Presidents  of  the.  United  States.  Presi-

and  made  an  address  at  the  opening  con- 
vocation  in   the   fall   of   1911. 

Theodore  Roosevelt  spoke  at  the  Uni- 
versity April  4,  1903,  to  the  students  and 
faculty  assembled  in  the  University  chapel. 

Governor  Woodrow  Wilson  spoke  to  the 
students  in  chapel  in  the  spring  of  191 1 
and  again  at  the  opening  convocation  in 
the  University  Armory  in  the  fall  of  1912,

state.  These  leaflets  are  designed  to 
arouse  an  interest  in  the  study  of  agricul- 
ture; 42,000  names  are  now  on  the  mailing 
list  to  receive  agricultural  division  bulle- 
tins.

Religious  Statistics.  The  most  complete 
and  reliable  religious  statistics  of  the  Uni- 
versity were  gathered  in  1912-13  under  the 
direction  of  the  religious  work  director. 
A  short  summary  of  the  main  facts  gath- 
ered appears  in  the  Minnesota  Alumni 
Weekly    of   January   27,    1913. 

Religious  Work  Director.  Many  times 
during  the  past  ten  years  plans  have  been 
discussed  for  the  organization  of  religious 
work  at  the  University  upon  a  broader 
and  more  effective  basis.  The  leading 
church  bodies  of  the  state  have  discussed 
plans  but  could  agree  upon  no  plan 
for  concerted  action.  The  International 
committee  of  the  Young  Men"s  Christian 
Association  selected  Minnesota,  early  in 
1909,  as  a  field  peculiarly  fitted  to  try  out 
an  experiment  in  religious  work  in  col- 
leges. A  Mr.  Carter  and  a  Miss  Wilbur 
representing  the  committee,  came  to 
Minnesota  to  work  with  the  representa- 
tives of  the  University  Young  Men's  and 
Young  Women's  Christian  Associations. 
The  co-operation  of  men  and  women  of 
various  denominations  was  enlisted  and 
pledges  sufticient  to  provide  the  salary  of 
a    religious    work    director   were    secured. 

The  Reverend  Willard  S.  Richardson  of 
New  York,  was  called  to  the  University 
to  "make"  the  position  as  well  as  to  fill  it. 
Mr.  Richardson  spent  the  years  1909-12 
at  the  University.  While  the  result  was 
not  all  that  had  been  hoped.  Mr.  Richard- 
son's work  indicated  that  the  work  was 
worth  while.  Mr.  Richardson  felt  that  he 
was  not  specially  fitted  to  make  the  most 
of    the    opportunity    afiforded    in    this    field,

and  left  the  field  open  to  a  new  man.  After 
full  consideration  of  the  whole  situation, 
Reverend  John  Walker  Powell,  '93,  of  Du- 
luth,  was  called  to  the  work  on  a  three- 
year  agreement.  Mr.  Powell  took  up  his 
work  in  the  fall  of  1912  and  spent  the  fol- 
lowing year  making  a  study  of  the  prob- 
lem. As  a  result  of  his  year's  work  Mr. 
Powell  has  arrived  at  certain  very  definite 
conclusions  which  are  embodied  in  an  ar- 
ticle which  appeared  in  the  Minnesota 
Alumni  Weekly  of  May  26,   1913. 

Re-organization  of  the  School  of  Medi- 
cine. A  complete  re-organization  of  the 
school  of  medicine  took  place  when  the 
regents,  on  February  17,  1913,  adopted  the 
report  of  a  special  committee  on  re-or- 
ganization of  medical  instruction.  A  full 
statement  of  the  plan  of  re-organization 
will  be  found  in  the  appendix  to  the  min- 
utes  of  the   board  of  regents  of  that  date. 

Research  and  Publication.  The  legisla- 
ture of  191 1  made  an  annual  appropriation 
of  $10,000  which  was  renewed  by  the  leg- 
islature of  1913  for  the  purpose  of  encour- 
aging research  work  at  the  University 
and  to  provide  for  the  expense  of  the  pub- 
lication of  the  results.  During  the  first 
year  following  this  appropriation  the  fol- 
lowing research  work  and  publications 
were  undertaken: 


(i)  Over  forty  investigations,  on  a 
wide  range  of  subjects,  have  received  aid 
in  the  form  of  material,  apparatus  and  as- 
sistants.

on  the  University  beat  for  practically  all 
of  the  time  of  his  service  on  the  force. 
It  is  said  that  during  his  long  term  of 
service  he  never  arrested  a  University  boy 
and  this  does  not  mean  that  he  did  not 
do  his  duty  as  an  officer.  When  he  thought 
things  going  too  far  he  would  appeal  to 
the  students  for  an  abatement  of  the  dis- 
order, and,  so  thoroughlj^  was  he  liked, 
that  he  never  appealed  in  vain.  One  time 
he  told  an  unruly  group  of  students — "Bys, 
ye  must  disperse  or  I'll  lose  me  job"  and 
they  dispersed   quietly. 

Thousands  of  alumni  remember  "Mike" 
and  cherish  of  him  the  kindest  memories.

Salary  Schedule  Study.  In  the  spring 
and  summer  of  1910,  E.  B.  Johnson,  then 
clerk  of  the  president  of  the  board  of  re- 
gents, acting  under  the  direction  of  the 
salary  committee  of  the  board  of  regents, 
made  a  study  and  reported  upon  a  salary 
schedule  for  the  University.  This  sched- 
ule in  its  final  form  was  printed  and  sub- 
mitted to  the  regents  early  in  the  fall 
of  that  same  year.  The  report  was  based 
upon  a  very  wide  study  of  the  question  and 
consultation  with  the  leading  authorities 
of    the    country. 


Salt  Spring  Lands.  In  1857  the  United 
States  ceded  to  Minnesota  46,080  acres  of 
so-called  salt  spring  lands  and  later,  in 
1879,  the  United  States  added  24  sections, 
15,360  acres,  to  supplement  the  first  grant, 
making  a  total  of  61.440  acres  granted  by 
the  government  to  the  state.  This  sup- 
plementary grant  was  given  because  of  the 
fact  that  this  amount  of  land  had  been 
lost  to  the  University  on  account  of  pre- 
vious selections,  partly  through  locating 
selections  on  lands  belonging  to  the  In- 
dians and  partly  because  settlers  had  tak- 
en up  under  the  homestead  laws  land  se- 
lected. The  grant  of  1879  was  secured 
through  the  good  offices  of  Governor  Pills- 
bury  who  secured  the  passage  by  the  state 
legislature  of  a  resolution  asking  Con- 
gress to  make  good  this  loss.  The  state 
selected  and  received  title  from  the  Unit- 
ed States  to  29,842.77  acres  from  the  first 
grant  and  15,087.83  acres  from  the  second 
grant,  a  total  of  44,930.6  acres.  7,643.8 
acres  .were  voted  by  the  legislature  to  the 
Belle  Plains  Salt  company  to  encourage 
the  investigations  of  the  company  into  the 
possibility  of  using  the  lands  for  the  pro- 
duction of  salt.  Nothing  was  accomplish- 
ed through  this  grant,  the  compan}^  selling 
the  land  and  doing  almost  no  work  in  re- 
turn. A  second  grant  was  asked  by  the 
same  company  and  the  legislature  called 
in  Professor  Winchell,  of  the  University 
of  Michigan,  to  investigate  and  report. 
His  report  indicated  that  nothing  was  to 
be  hoped  from  the  company  and  in  1872 
an  act  was  passed  creating  the  Geological 
and  Natural  History  Survey  and  granting 
to  that  survey  for  its  support  all  the  lands 
remaining  of  the  Congressional  grant  of 
1857.  Owing  to  an  error  22.89  acres  of 
land  have  been  lost  so  that  the  state  act- 
ually received  37,263.91  acres  to  be  used  for 
the  support  of  the  Geological  and  Natural 
History  Survey  and  there  is  still  due  from 
the  U.  S.  government  1,149.4  acres  of  land 
and  an  effort  is  being  made  to  secure  this 
land  for  the  state.  All  but  4,625.64  acres  of 
these  lands  have  been  sold  and  a  total  of 
more  than  $325,000  has  been  received  for 
the  support  of  the  Geological  and  Natural 
History  Survey.

Scandinavian  Society.  This  organization, 
under  various  names,  has  been  in  exist- 
ence since  the  days  when  Professor  Breda 
came  to  the  University  in  1884.  At  times 
it  has  been  inactive,  but  during  the  past 
five  years,  since  the  coming  of  Professors 
Bothne  and  Stomberg,  it  has  been  revived. 
The  purpose  of  the  society  is  to  bring  to- 
gether for  mutual  enjoyment  and  profit, 
the  men  and  women  of  Scandinavian  birth, 
or  descent,  in  the  University.  Programs

attempt  is  made  to  arouse  and  keep  alive 
an  interest  in  the  best  things  in  Scandina- 
vian language,  literature,  art  and  life.  Fre- 
quent meetings  are  held — social  and  liter- 
ary, and  some  of  the  great  men  of  the 
Scandinavian  countries  are  secured  to  give 
lectures  upon  their  specialties.  The  so- 
ciety has  a  large  and  enthusiastic  member-

Scholarships  (University).  It  is  the  poli- 
cy of  the  University  to  encourage  grad- 
uate study  and  to  provide  for  assistance 
in  laboratories,  reading  of  test  and  exam- 
ination papers,  supervision  of  note  books, 
and  similar  services  by  the  appointment 
of  assistants  and  scholars  in  departments 
where  such  services  are  required.  The 
general  principles  which  now  control  the 
making  of  such  appointments  are:  (i) 
the  appointments  are  made  by  the  Board 
of  Regents,  upon  the  nomination  of  the 
head  of  the  department  concerned  and  its 
ratification  by  the  dean  of  the  college;  (2) 
appointments  are  for  one  year  only,  but 
may  be  renewed;  (3)  the  appointees  must

they  are  not  regularly  placed  in  charge  of 
classes,  and  when  exceptions  are  made  to

garded as  a  temporary  one. 

School  of  Agriculture.  The  total  at- 
tendance upon  the  regular  courses  in  the 
school  of  agriculture,  from  1888  down  to 
1913    was    4824    excluding   duplicates.

School  of  Design,  Freehand  Drawing  and 
Woodcarving.     See  College  of  engineering. 

School  of  Mines  Building.  Was  erected 
in  1903  at  a  total  cost  of  $61,000,  the  pro- 
ceeds of  two  different  appropriations.  The 
building  is  designed  to  accommodate  only 
the  technical  work  of  the  school  as  ade- 
quate building  accommodations  have  al- 
ready been  furnished  for  chemistry,  geol- 
ogy, mineralogy,  drawing  and  mechanical 
and  electrical  engineering.  It  is  150  feet 
long  by  65  feet  wide.  It  is  a  red  brick 
building  three  stories  high.  The  lower 
floor  is  occupied  by  the  assaying  and  met- 
allurgical laboratories;  the  second  floor 
contains    offices,   two   large    lecture    rooms. 


departmental  library  and  a  museum;  the 
third  floor  provides  two  c|uiz  rooms,  a. 
large,  well  lighted  draughting  room,  thesis 
room,  a  dark  room  and  a  blue  print  room. 

The  building  was  burned  February  14th, 
1913,  the  entire  building  except  the  walls 
being  destroyed.  The  regents  have  voted 
to  rebuild  and  remodel  the  building  for 
the  use  of  the  college  of  education,  with 
the  expectation  that,  eventually,  the  build- 
ing will  be  used  for  a  model  school.  The 
legislature  of  1913  appropriated  $54,000 
for   this   purpose. 

School  of  Mines  (new)  building.  The 
legislature  of  1913  appropriated  $145,000 
for  a  new  building  for  the  school  of  mines. 
This  building  is  to  be  located  just  north 
of,  and  facing  the  open  space  between  the 
recently    erected    engineering   buildings. 

School  of  Mines  Bulletin  is  published  an- 
nually in  April.  It  is  devoted  entirely  to 
information  concerning  the  alumni  of  the 
school  of  mines.  A  complete  record  of 
each  alumnus  is  published  from  the  time 
of  graduation  to  the  time  of  publication 
of  the  bulletin.  The  school  of  mines  so- 
ciety issues  this  publication  and  sends  it 
to    every   alumnus    of    the    school. 

School  of  Mines  Society,  The.  This  or- 
ganization is  maintained  by  the  students  of 
the  school  of  mines  for  the  purpose  of 
promoting  the  interests  of  the  students  in 
mining  topics.  The  society  provides 
monthly  lectures  by  its  own  members, 
prominent  alumni  of  the  school  and  others 
who  can  be  obtained  for  the  purpose.  The 
society  publishes  an  annual  report  con- 
taining a  report  of  the  year's  work  and 
up-to-date  list  of  the  alumni  of  the  school. 

School  of  Traction  Engineering.  This 
school  was  established  in  1908  and  pro- 
vides instruction  in  traction  engineering  to 
prepare  men  for  the  operation  and  care  of 
traction  engines  and  similar  machinery. 
The  work  is  given  each  year  beginning 
about  the  middle  of  May.  Originally  no 
entrance  requirement  was  specified,  but  at 
the  present  time  a  year's  experience  with 
either  a  plowing  or  threshing  outfit  is  re- 
quired. 332  persons  have  completed  the 
prescribed  work  of  this  course.

Science  Club  was  organized  1910,  it  in- 
cludes members  of  the  faculty  of  the  de- 
partment of  agriculture  and  others  con- 
nected with  the  institution.  Meetings  are 
held  on  the  first  Monday  evening  of  each 
month.  The  purpose  of  the  club  is  to  bring 
those  connected  with  the  agriculture  col- 
lege and  station  in  closer  touch  with  one 
another  and  with  many  lines  of  work  car- 
ried  on   in   the   several   divisions. 

Science,  Literature  and  the  Arts,  The 
College  of.  This  college  was  provided  in 
the  charter  of  the  University  and  was  or- 
ganized by  the  regents  at  the  very  begin- 
ning, along  with  the  college  of  agriculture 
and  mechanic  arts.  The  work  of  this 
course  extended  from  the  grades  to  the 
completion  of  work  for  the  bachelor's  de- 
gree, and  the  revised  plan  adopted  in  July 
1871,  looked  toward  the  providing  of  ad- 
vanced work  leading  to  corresponding  ad- 
vance degrees.  The  preparatory  work  was 
dropped  off  "-radually,  preparatory  classes 
being  discontinued  in  1874,  1876  and  the 
final  preparatory  class  being  dropped  in 
1890. 

Admission  to  this  college  is  based  upon 
the  completion  of  a  full  four-year  high 
school  course  or  its  equivalent,  with  the 
grade  passed  with  credit  (or  pass  plus  or 
good,    according    to    the    notation). 

The  college  course  embraces  four  years 
and  leads  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of 
arts.  This  college  also  gives  the  first 
three  years  of  the  Course  in  Arts  and 
Medicine,  leading  to  the  degrees  of  P).  A. 
and  M.  D.,  of  the  course  in  arts  and  den- 
tistry, leading  to  the  degrees  of  B.  A.  and 
D.   D.   S.;  the  first  two  years  of  the  course 


in  science  and  medicine,  leading  to  the  de- 
grees of  B.  S.  and  M.  D.,  of  the  course  in 
education,  leading  to  the  degree  of  B.  A.  in 
education,  and  of  tiie  course  in  law,  lead- 
ing  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  laws. 

As  originally  organized  this  college  pro- 
vided courses  in  tiie  classics,  in  science  and 
literature  and  the  degrees  granted  were 
bachelor  of  arts,  science,  or  literature.  In 
1899,  provision  was  made  for  offering  work 
in  a  so-called  civic  course,  leading  to  the 
degree  bachelor  of  philosophy  and  one 
class,  of  ten  members,  was  graduated  in 
1901.  Beginning  with  the  year  1901-02, 
all  distinction  in  courses  was  abolished  and 
the  course  was  made  more  largely  elective 
and  all  completing  the  course  were  given 
the   degree  bachelor   of   arts. 

Until  the  beginning  of  the  year,  1893-94, 
the  work  of  the  junior  and  senior  years 
was  not  wholly  elective,  though  from  the 
very  beginning  some  provision  has  been 
made  for  elective  work  in  these  two  years, 
the  amount  being  gradually  increased  until 
the  year  1893-94,  when  all  of  the  work  of 
these  two  years  was  made  entirely  elec- 
tive. The  work  of  the  freshman  and  soph- 
omore years  was,  however,  outlined  with 
rare  chances  to  secure  options  up  to  about 
the  middle  of  the  nineties,  when  the  elec- 
tive system,  hedged  in  by  more  or  less 
stringent  regulations,  had  become  fairly 
well  established  as  a  principle.  From  that 
time  on  until  the  opening  of  the  year  1904 
when  the  work  of  these  years  was  made 
practically  elective,  the  principle  made  pro- 
gress and  finally  resulted  in  the  work  of 
the  whole  course  being  made  elective,  with 
but  few  restrictions. 

The  chief  restrictions  of  the  curriculum 
which  went  into  operation  the  present  j^ear 
(1913-14)    are    the   following: 

I.  The  student  must  complete  a  major 
subject,  consisting  of  24  credits  in  one  de- 
partment, and  two  minor  subjects,  con- 
sisting of  12  credits  in  each  of  two  depart- 
ments. 

2.  He  must  so  seclect  his  subjects  in  the 
freshman  and  sophomore  years  as  to  rep- 
resent each  of  the  three  groups  in  lan- 
guage,   science    and    the    humanities. 

3.  He  must  secure  in  the  junior  and 
senior  years  36  credits  in  so-called  starred 
courses,  a  starred  course  being  an  ad- 
vanced course,  open  only  to  juniors,  sen- 
iors,  and    graduates. 

4.  He  must  secure  an  average  of  good 
in    half    his    subjects. 

This  college  has  fifty-one  professors, 
seven  associate  professors  and  thirty-seven 
assistant  professor,  fifty-nine  instructors 
and  a  large  number  of  scholars  and  as- 
sistants. A  large  portion  of  the  work  of 
this  college,  was  formerly  carried  on  in 
the  old  main  and  is  now  housed  in  Folwell 
Hall.  Pillsbury  Hall,  the  Chemical  labora- 
tory building,  the  Librarj'  building  and  the 
Physical  Laboratory  building,  also  help  to 
house  the  college.  This  college  did  not 
have  a  dean  until  the  year  1903-04.  The 
afTairs   of    the    college   are   governed,   as    in

Seed  Testing  Laboratory.  Since  1909  the 
department  of  botany  and  plant  pathology, 
of  the  college  of  agriculture  and  experi- 
ment station,  has  been  conducting  seed 
tests  and  doing  what  it  could  to  induce  the 
people  of  the  state  to  test  all  seeds  before 
planting  the  same.  The  legislature  of 
1913  passed  an  act  requiring  that  all  seed 
sold  in  Minnesota  should  bear  a  certificate 
showing  the  result  of  such  test.  The  act 
appropriated  $S,ooo  annually  to  support  a 
laboratory  to  make  such  tests  and  placed 
the  administration  of  the  law  in  the  hands 
of  the  Minnesota  Agricultural  Experi- 
ment Station. 

The  law  went  into  eflfect  July  ist,  1913, 
and  the  work  has  been  organized  and 
placed  in  the  hands  of  the  department 
of  plant  pathology,  the  actual  work  being 
under  the  direct  supervision  of  Professor 
W.  L.  Oswald. 

The  work  of  the  department  is  directed 
to  the  following  ends: — First — Agents  will 
inspect  seed  sold  in  the  state;  second — 
Free  purity  and  germination  tests  of  seeds 
will  be  made  for  residents  of  the  state; 
third — Short  courses  will  be  offered  from 
time  to  time  so  that  anyone  can  learn  the 
correct  methods  of  seed  testing;  fourth — 
Experimental  work  will  be  done  along  the 
line  of  seed  testing;  Fifth — General  bulle- 
tins will  be  published  from  time  to  time; 
Sixth —  The  laboratory,  through  education- 
al methods,  will  endeavor  to  improve  the 
seed   trade   of   Minnesota.

Self-supporting  Students.  Students  of 
the  University,  to  a  very  large  degree,  are 
either  partially  or  wholly  self-supporting. 
The  location  of  the  University  in  the  Twin 
Cities  makes  it  possible  for  a  large  num- 
ber of  students  to  do  this.  The  kinds  of 
employment  secured  by  students  to  help 
pay  their  own  way,  is  limited  only  by  the 
kinds  of  work  available  in  a  large  city. 
Everything  that  anyone  can  do  is  attempt- 
ed by  the  students.  Students  who  have 
learned  a  trade  before  coming  to  the  Uni- 
versity find  it  a  comparatively  easy  mat- 
ter to  earn  a  large  proportion  of  their  ex- 
penses while  attending  the  University.  For 
a  fuller  statement  of  this  matter,  see  bulle-

versity  College    of    Education. 
1907,  and  took  his  master's  de- 
gree  the   following  year.      Mr. 
Selvig    had    had     considerable 
experience  in  school  work  be- 
fore coming  to  the  University.     In   1910  he 
was  chosen  to  take  charge  of  the  Northwest 
(Crookston)    school   of  agriculture   and   ex- 
periment   station    and    has    been    in    charge 
since  that  date. 

Sem.  Bot.,  organized  in  1886  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Nebraska,  has  established  an 
allied  convocation  at  the  University  of 
Minnesota.  It  is  essentially  a  research 
society  in  botany,  composed  of  the  botan- 
ical staff  and  of  advanced  students  in  the 
department.  It  meets  alternately  in  con- 
vocation and  in  chapter  to  present  the  re- 
sults   of    investigation,    and    for   discussion. 

Senate  of  the  University.  The  Senate 
of  the  University  was  created  by  act  of  the 
Board  of  Regents  adopted  May  6,  1912. 
The  Senate  succeeded  the  University  Coun- 
cil which  had  been  in  existence  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  previous.  The  membership 
of  the  Senate  includes  the  President,  who 
has  suspensive  veto  over  any  action  of  the 
Senate,  the  deans  who  act  as  advisers  to 
the  President,  the  librarian,  the  president 
and  professors  emeriti,  and  all  professors 
and  associate  professors.  The  registrar 
is  clerk  of  the  Senate  and  custodian  of  its 
records.  The  Senate  has  both  legislative 
and  administrative  authority  over  all  mat- 
ters concerning  the  University  as  a  whole. 
See  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Regents  of 
May   6,    1912   for   constitution. 

Senior  Adviser  System^  In  the  spring 
of  1913,  the  faculty,  on  recommendation 
of  the  academic  student  council  of  the 
University,  adopted  a  Senior  Adviser  Sys- 
tem, by  which  members  of  the  senior  class, 
chosen  at  the  close  of  the  junior  year,  will 
be  assigned  a  definite  number  of  incoming 
freshmen  with  whom  the  adviser  is  expect- 
ed to  keep  in  close  touch  during  their  first 
year  in  college.  The  adviser  is  required 
to  report  to  the  committee  on  student 
work  twice  a  month,  ofifering  any  sugges- 
tions that  may  appear  to  him  to  be  desir- 
able. He  is  expected  to  know  the  students 
in  his  group,  their  habits,  conditions  of 
living,  scholastic  preparation  and  all  the 
environments  that  affect  their  life  as  stu- 
dents   of    the    University. 

Senior  Annual  (Northwestern  School  of 
Agriculture).  Founded  by  the  senior  class 
of  1913.  This  is  an  annual  published  by 
the  senior  students  in  the  school  of  agri- 
culture at  Crookston,  Minn.,  and  occu-

Senior  Engineer's  Society.  Organized  in 
1906  for  the  purpose  of  bringing  its  mem- 
bers into  closer  union  and  co-operation 
and  to  strengthen  the  bonds  of  friendship 
among  its  members.  It  was  not  until  the 
spring  of  1907,  however,  that  the  idea  of 
making  it  a  permanent  organization  was 
brought  up  and  steps  taken  to  carry  it  out. 
It  is  not  the  intention  of  the  founders  that 
it  should  become  an  exclusive  society,  but 
rather  a  nucleus  of  representative  men 
about  which  the  college  life  of  the  whole 
senior   class    may   center.

/m^SBKm    the    charter    of   the    reorgan- 
SlmKll^^m    ized  University,  February  18, 
1891.      President    of    the    board    from    1876 
to    date    of    his    death    February    18,    1891. 
General  Sibley  was  born  in  Detroit,  Mich., 
Feb.   20th,    181 1.     He   was  elected   as   dele- 
gate  to   Congress  from  Wisconsin  in    1848 
and    immediately    took    measures    of   intro- 
ducing a  bill  for  the  organization  of  a  new 
territory    to    include    what    is    now    Minne- 
sota,   which    was    then,     he    contended,    a 
part  of  Wisconsin;  it  was  only  after  a  long 
and  bitter  contest  and  owing  largely  to  the 
tact  and  energy  of  Mr.  Sibley,  this  bill  be- 
came a  law  March  3,  1849  on  the  last  day 
before  Congress  adjourned. 

The  new  territory  of  Minnesota  at  once 
unanimously  elected  Mr.  Sibley  its  first 
delegate  to  Congress.  In  1853  he  returned 
to  private  life  and  in  the  following  year 
was  chosen  to  represent  Dakota  county  in 
the  territorial  legislature.  He  took  a  prom- 
inent part  in  forming  the  constitution  for 
the  State,  being  chairman  of  one  of  the 
two  conventions  that  simultaneously  pro- 
duced the  constitution  under  the  enabling 
act.  Mr.  Sibley  was  chosen  first  governor 
of  the  State  of  Minnesota,  his  term  ex- 
pired Jan.  I,  i860.  General  Sibley  had 
command  of  the  forces  that  were  raised  to 
quell  the  Indian  outbreak,  which  occurred 
August  1862.  He  made  a  brilliant  success 
in  this  expedition  and  in  1865  was  appoint- 
ed brevet  major  general  for  efficient  and 
meritorious    services.      From    this    time    to 


the  end  of  his  life  Mr.  Sibley  was  actively 

engaged   in  business.

Special  Summer  Courses  for  Women. 
The  course  in  the  school  of  agriculture 
was  not  first  planned  to  meet  the  needs  of 
the  young  women  and  the  demand  was 
made  upon  the  regents  to  provide  such  a 
course.  This  was  done  in  1894,  when  a 
so-called  summer  course  for  women  was 
provided.  This  course  which  was  offered 
in  1894,  1895  and  1896,  lasted  from  late  in

Standing  Tax  Levy.  The  University  re- 
ceives a  considerable  portion  of  its  income 
for  current  expenses  from  the  tax  levy  of 
23-100  of  a  mill.  This  plan  was  first  adopt- 
ed by  the  Legislature  of  1893,  and  was  to 
go  into  force  August  ist.  1894.  The  tax 
was  then  fixed  at  15-100  of  a  mill  and  was 
afterwards  changed  to  23-100  of  a  mill._  It 
was  evidently  the  intention  of  the  legisla- 
ture to  have  this  tax  levied  and  collected 
and  in  the  treasury  to  the  credit  of  the 
University  on  the  first  day  of  the  fiscal 
year  next  ensuing,  and  to  this  end,  there 
was  appropriated  $60,000  as  an  emergency 
measure  to  provide  for  the  one  year  that 
must  ensue  before  this  plan  could  be  put 
into  operation.  Governor  Nelson  vetoed 
this  item  in  the  appropriation  bill  and  the 
University  was  without  resources  to  pay 
its  professors,  salaries  and  current  expense 
bills.  The  state  auditor  ruled  that  the 
money  which  had  been  received  from  the 
levy  was  available  as  soon  as  it  was  in 
the  treasury  and  all  auditors  who  have 
come  after  him  have  allowed  this  practice. 
The  legislatures  also,  ten  of  which  have 
met  and  made  appropriations  for  the  sup- 
port of  the  University,  have  also  acted  up- 
on the  assumption  that  this  was  the  prac- 
tice to  be  followed.  This  fact  causes  the 
temporary  deficiency  nearly  every  year 
during  the  months  of  June  and  July  and 
sometimes  May,  and  also  accounts  for  the 
actual  surplus  which  exists  upon  the  first 
of  each  August.  The  board  of  regents, 
have,  in  all  their  reports  shown  clearly  the 
facts  in  the  case  and  custom  has  sanctioned 
the  practice  which  was  at  first  technically 
not  in  accordance  with  the  act  of  the  legis- 
lature imposing  this  tax  for  the  purpose 
specified.

Students'  Christian  Association,  The,  was 

organized  in  tlie  year  1869-70  by  a  few  of 
the  students  and  faculty — Professor  Jabez 
Brooks  and  the  late  Professor  Moses  Mar- 
ston  being  prime  movers  in  the  enterprise. 
The  association  was  incorporated,  under 
the  laws  of  the  state,  in  October,  1883. 
The  object  of  the  society  being  to  unite 
Christians,  of  whatever  denomination,  for 
the  purpose  of  spiritual  development  and 
also  for  a  more  effective  moral  influence 
throughout  the  University.  Its  constitu- 
tion expressly  forbids  the  exclusion  of  any 
person  on  sectarian  grounds,  and  in  its 
Articles  of  Incorporation  is  found  the  fol- 
lowing statement:  "It  shall  be  forever 
free  from  denominational  control  or  in- 
fluence," thus  giving  it  the  broadest  basis 
of  activity. 


With  the  growth  of  the  organization  it 
became  more  and  more  evident  to  all  in- 
terested in  its  success,  that  a  permanent 
place  should  be  provided  for  holding  all 
meetings — social  and  religious.  In  1883,  at 
the  suggestion  of  Professor  Marston,  a 
subscription  was  opened,  and  subsequently 
the  consent  of  the  board  of  regents  was 
secured  to  erect  a  building  on  the  Uni- 
versity campus.  It  was  thought  that 
$10,000  would  be  sufficient  to  cover  the  ex- 
pense of  a  suitable  building,  and  after  the 
subscriptions  had  been  started  among  the 
faculty  and  student-body,  the  work  was 
taken  up  by  President  Northrop  and  Pro- 
fessor Geo.  E.  McLean,  and  $12,000  was 
secured    for  the    purpose. 

The  building  is  located  on  the  college 
campus,  the  first  to  the  right  as  the  main 
gateway  is  entered.  It  is  a  two-story 
brown  stone  structure,  consisting  of  a 
main  floor  and  a  high  basement,  the  en- 
trance facing  the  walk  from  University  av- 
enue to  the  main  building.  The  main  floor 
consists  of  three  parlors  that  can  be 
thrown  into  one  large  lecture  room.  On 
the  lower  floor  are  offices,  game  rooms 
and  toilet  room.  The  building  was  dedi- 
cated  June    6,    1888. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  University,  when 
this  was  the  only  religious  organization 
in  the  University,  the  work  done  by  this 
association  played  a  large  part  in  Univer- 
sity life.  Active  religious  work  was  kept 
up  and  a  course  of  lectures  was  provided, 


at  which  first  class  speakers  were  always 
to  be  heard.  For  four  years,  this  course 
of  lectures  was  provided  through  the 
courtesy  of  the  First  Congregational 
Church,  which  footed  the  bills.  The  asso- 
ciation continued  to  thrive  until  about  the 
end  of  the  eighties,  when  the  religious 
work,  formerly  done  through  this  associa- 
tion, was  largely  taken  over  by  the  Young 
Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  As- 
sociations, this  association  being  an  in- 
corporated body  continues  to  exist  in  form 
and  holds  the  building  which  it  has  leased 
to  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association 
and  which  has  been  occupied  by  them 
since   1889.

Student  Council.  This  council  of  aca- 
demic students  was  founded  in  1910,  its 
purpose  being  to  afford  a  suitable  medium 
of  exchange  of  opinions  between  the  aca- 
demic undergraduates  and  faculty  and  to 
maintain  Minnesota  traditions  and  customs 
and  exercise  general  supervision  over  stu- 
dent affairs  including  class  and  publication 
elections  and  student  breaches  of  conduct. 
The  functions  of  this  organization  were 
assumed  by  the  University  Student  Council 
which  was  organized  in   1912. 

Student  Council  (Agricultural).  This 
organization,  which  includes  all  students 
of  the  department  of  agriculture,  has  as 
its  object  the  advancement  of  the  Univer- 
sity and  in  particular  the  student  interests 
of  the  department  of  agriculture.  Organ- 
ized in   1913. 

Student  Government  Association  was 
established  in  the  fall  of  1906  and  included 
all  women  in  the  University.  Its  purpose 
was  to  have  charge  of  Alice  ShevHn  Hall. 
This  organization  made  rules  for  the  guid- 
ance of  those  using  Shevlin  Hall  and  pro- 
vided committees  to  enforce  the  rules.  It 
controlled  the  social  functions  given  in 
the  building  and  the  expenditure  of  any 
surplus  receipts  from  the  lunch  room.  This 
association  was  succeeded  by  the  Women's 
Self  Government  Association  in  April,  1913. 

Students'  Handbook.  This  is  published 
annually  by  the  Young  Men's  and  Young 
Women's  Christian  Associations  of  the 
University  and  is  for  free  distribution  to 
those  interested.  It  is  issued  in  the  form 
of  a  vest  pocket  memorandum  book  and  is 
full  of  information  of  value  to  students.

Students'  Liberal  Association,  The.  This 
association  was  organized  January  25,  1887, 
and  its  avowed  object  a  union  of  the  stu- 
dent body,  irrespective  of  creed  or  belief, 
to  establish  upon  a  broad  and  catholic 
basis,  a  course  of  lectures  upon  moral  and 
religious  topics.  Succeeded  by  the  Uni-

THE  MINNESOTA 


ment  of  a  committee  to  secure  and  send 
Christmas  presents  to  the  student  members 
of  the  13th  Minnesota  which  was  then 
stationed  in  Manila.  After  the  presents 
had  been  forwarded,  Professor  Artliur  Ed- 
win Haynes  conceived  the  notion  of  send- 
ing to  every  student  and  former  student  of 
the  University,  who  had  enlisted  and  served 


in  the  war  with  Spain,  a  simple  medal  of 
honor,  as  a  token  of  appreciation  of  the  fac- 
ulty and  students  of  the  University.  This 
was  done  and  two  hundred  nineteen  of  these 
medals  were  struck  off  and  presented  to 
those  entitled  to  them.  The  idea  kept  grow- 
ing in  the  mind  of  this  ertthusiastic  patriot 
who  wrote  a  letter  to  the  board  of  regents 


and  made  the  first  donation  of  "$io  toward 
a  fund  for  placing  on  the  University  camp- 
us a  fitting  memorial  for  the  former  stu- 
dents  of  the  University  who  served  our 
country,  in  its  army  or  navy,  during  the 
recent  war  with  Spain."  In  response  to  his 
request,  a  committee  was  appointed,  he 
being  made  the  chairman,  and  upon  his 
shoulders  fell  the  chief  burden  of  raising 
the  funds   to  carry  the  plans   through. 

The  sculptor,  Theo.  Alice  Ruggles-Kit- 
son,  the  most  famous  woman  sculptor  this 
country  has  produced,  threw  her  heart  in- 
to this  piece  of  work  in  a  way  that  made 
it  one  of  her  best.  It  is  notable  not  only 
for  what  it  commemorates  but  as  a  won- 
derful work  of  art.  The  statue  of  bronze 
stands  nine  feet  high,  six  inches  above 
heroic  size,  and  portrays  the  soldier  of 
i8q8.  See  illustration.  Cost,  almost  $6,000. 
The  pedestal  is  of  Vermont  green  granite 
and  stands  six  feet  high,  weighing  about 
seven  tons.  On  the  pedestal  is  a  bronze 
table  bearing  the  words — "Erected  in  hon- 
or of  the  students  of  the  University  who 
served  their  country  in  the  war  with  Spain, 
1898-9." 

The  monument  is  located  opposite  the 
entrance  to  the  Armory.  On  either  side 
of  the  entrance  to  the  Armory,  facing  the 
monument,  is  a  bronze  tablet,  the  two 
bearing  the  names  of  two  hundred  eight- 
een men,  giving  their  regiment  and  rank. 
On  the  base  of  the  tower,  by  the  main 
entrance  is  a  smaller  tablet  which  has  the 
following  inscription: — 
"Brave    souls    survive    the    storms    of    shot   and 

flame, 
Their  furloughs   blossom    in    eternal    fame."

Unselfishness    is    a    divine   virtue: 

No   unselfish   life    is   ever   lived 

In  vain:    it  will   have   its   effect 

in  uplifting  the  world. 

Men    may    forget    such   lives, 

but    they   are   treasured    forever 

in    the    memory   of   God. 

In   so  far   as   humanity    perpetuates 

the  memory  of  these  lives,  does  It 

exalt   itself. 

Students'  Trust  Fund.  The  class  of  1902, 
of  the  school  of  agriculture,  left  with  the 
school  a  fund  of  $100  "to  assist  by  tempo- 
rary loans  at  a  reasonable  rate  of  interest, 
deserving  students  needing  such  help,  who 
are  not  below  the  B  class  in  the  school." 
This  fund  is  in  charge  of  a  committee  con- 
sisting of  the  secretary,  the  principal,  the 
preceptress,  and  the  president  of  the  A 
class. 

Students'  Volunteer  Band.  This  organ- 
ization includes  men  and  women  who  are 
expecting  to  enter  the  missionary  field  at 
the  close  of  their  college  course.  This 
organization  has  been  in  existence  many 
years.

Summer  School.  In  1881  the  University 
offered  for  tlie  first  time  summer  courses 
in  science  for  teachers  and  others  interest- 
ed in  subjects  offered.  The  subjects  of- 
fered at  that  session  were  botany,  chemis- 
try, geology,  mineralogy  and  zoology.  The 
course  extended  through  the  month  of 
July.     The   attendance  was  forty-two.      In 

1882  the  school  was  continued  and  the  sub- 
jects of  botany,  geology,  German,  Eng- 
lish, rhetoric  and  elocution  were  offered, 
and  the  attendance  was  seventy-three.     In 

1883  the  school  offered  courses  in  geology, 
chemistry,  French  and  didactics.  Professor 
Hall  had  special  charge  of  the  school. 

In  1892,  the  state  department  of  public 
instruction  made  provision  for  holding  a 
summer  school  at  the  University.  Provi- 
sion was  made  for  giving  the  work  in  two 
sections,  a  university  section,  to  provide 
the  training  required  by  the  teachers  in 
high  schools  who  desired  further  training 
in  the  subjects  they  were  to  teach  or  to 
carry  work  in  the  same  lines  of  university 
grade,  and  elementary,  for  the  training 
of  teachers  for  the  grades.  The  school  has 
been  carried  along  on  substantially  these 
lines  to  the  present  time.  The  work  of 
the  university  section  has  been  developed 
and  advanced  until  it  represents  real  uni- 
versitj'  grade  of  work.  The  University  is 
not  officially  connected  with  the  school 
save  for  the  fact  that  it  furnishes  its  build- 
ings and  equipment  for  the  use  of  the 
school  and  the  further  fact  that  the  faculty 
of  the  University  section  is  largely  made 
up  of  University  professors  and  instructors. 
The  attendance  has  been  as  follows:  1892, 
741;  1893,  489;  1894,  1008;  1895,  1217;  1896, 
1234;  1897,  1245;  1898,  1 187;  1899,  1015; 
1900,  1019;  1901,  931;  1902,  1105;  1903,  818; 
1904,  857;  1905,  868;  1906,  1019;  1907,  1046; 
1908,  1218;    1909,   1286;    1910,    1 188. 

Down  to  1911  the  school  was  held  on 
the  campus  in  Minneapolis,  under  the  gen- 
eral direction  of  the  department  of  public 
instruction,  but  under  the  direct  supervi- 
sion and  management  of  the  University 
department    of    education. 

Beginning  with  the  session  of  1911,  the 
school  was  divided  and  the  elementary  sec- 
tion transferred  to  the  department  of  agri- 
culture. The  University  section  only  re- 
maining on  the  campus  in  Minneapolis  and 


the  department  of  public  instruction  pays 
only  a  very  small  part  of  the  expenses. 

The  work  in  the  University  section  is 
accepted  for  credit  on  the  regular  Univer- 
sity courses.  The  attendance  in  the  Uni- 
versity section  has  been  as  follows:  189^-,

lands  were  set  aside  to  be  sold  for  the 
benefit  of  state  institutions.  The  state 
constitutional  amendment  which  was  adopt- 
ed in  i88r  acted  to  repeal  the  law  of  1865 
and  the  law  of  1907  was  passed  to  make 
effective  the  plain  intent  of  the  constitu- 
tional amendment  of  1881.  The  fund  from 
the  sale  of  this  land  had  grown  to  be 
$2,671,727.12  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year 
1912.  This  fund  is  kept  intact  and  only  its 
income  apportioned  for  the  benefit  of  the 
state  institutions.  One-half  of  the  interest 
goes  to  the  common  school  fund  and  t;he 
balance  to  state  institutions  pro  rata  on 
the  basis  of  the  cost  of  maintenance.  The 
University  receives  about  $17,000  annually 
from  this  source  at  the  present  time.

Tuition.  At  the  organization  of  the  Uni- 
versity, the  theory  was  that  the  state 
should  furnish  education  absolutely  free 
to  everybody  who  came.  The  only  charges 
made  in  the  early  days  were  a  charge  of  $5 
for  "incidental"  expenses  and  a,  fee  to  cov- 
er the  cost  of  laboratory  material,  in 
courses  where  such  material  was  used. 
This  so-called,  incidental  fee,  was  used  to 
cover  petty  expenses  and  was  not,  until 
later  years  turned  over  to  the  state,  but 
used  during  the  year  and  any  unexpended 
balance  was  turned  over  to  the  treasurer 
of  the  University  at  the  close  of  the  year. 
This  plan  obtained  until  1889,  when  a  law 
was  passed  changing  the  whole  system  of 
accounting  and  requiring  all  fees  to  be 
turned  into  the  state  treasury.  Prior  to 
that  time  the  laboratory  fees  had  been  col- 
lected by  the  departments  concerned  and 
expended  for  supplies  to  take  the  place  of 
those    consumed. 

With  the  establishment  of  the  strictly 
professional  departments,  law  and  medi- 
cine, tuition  was  fixed  on  the  general  un- 
derstanding that  the  tuition  should  pay  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  running  ex- 
penses of  these  departments,  the  state  fur- 
nishing the  plant.  In  actual  practice,  how- 
ever, the  fee  fi.xed  has  had  little  logical  re- 
lation to  the  cost  of  maintenance  of  the 
colleges.  Fees  have  been  increased  from 
time  to  time,  general  increase  being  made 
in  1898  and  1902.  The  general  policy  in 
the  changes  made  being  to  reduce  the  fees 
in  all  departments  to  a  flat  rate  covering 
all  charges  for  tuition  and  laboratory  ma- 
terial. At  the  present  time  the  rates  are 
as  follows: — 

Required  of  every  student  in  colleges  of 
collegiate  grade,  annual  deposit  fee,  $5, 
payable  at  registration — ist  year  medical 
and  dental  students  are  required  to  pay  a 
$10  fee;  a  charge  of  $5  is  made  for  an  ex- 


amination to  remove  a  condition  at  other 
than  regular  fixed  dates,  and  $5  for  an  ex- 
amination for  credit  for  work  done  out  of 
class,  unless  such  examination  is  taken 
during  the  first  six  weeks  after  first  enroll- 
inent  at  the  University. 

Incidental   fees   are  payable,   one  half  on 
registration  at  the  opening  of  each  semes- 
ter.

tains four  addresses  by  Dr.  Folwell  while 
president  of  the  University  and  includes  his 
Inaugural  address,  The  Minnesota  plan. 
The  secularization  of  education,  and  Civic 
education.  In  issuing  this  book  Dr.  Fol- 
well has  interpolated,  in  smaller  type,  notes 
suggested  by  conditions  which  have  arisen 
since  the  addresses  were  made.  The  col- 
lection is  exceedingly  interesting  and  val- 
uable to  anyone  who  desires  a  survey  of 
the  progress  of  education  in  Minnesota 
during  the  forty  years  preceding  the  is- 
suing of  the    book. 

University  and  Agriculture.  See  Minne- 
sota Alumni  Weekly  of  September  30, 
1912;  see  also  pamphlet  upon  "What  the 
department  of  agriculture  has  done  and  is 
planning  to  do  for  agriculture  in  Minne- 
sota," by  Dean  Woods,  published  by  the 
University. 

University  Band,  The,  is  an  official 
organization  connected  with  the  military 
department  of  the  University  and  has  been 
maintained  since  the  department  was  first 
organized  at  this  institution.  The  Univer- 
sity provides  an  instructor  who  is  known 
as  the  director  of  the  band.  The  band 
gives  public  concerts,  plays  for  the  cadet 
corps  on  drill  days  and  upon  various  pub- 
lic   occasions    about    the    University. 

University  Bulletins,  The,  published  by 
authority  of  the  board  of  regents  twelve 
times  a  year — every  four  weeks  during  the 
University  year.  Bulletins  sent  gratuitous- 
ly, postage  paid,  to  all  persons  who  apply 
for  them. 

University      Catholic      Association     was 

established  in  1901  and  has  a  membership 
of  200.  Its  purpose  is  to  more  closely  unite 
the  Catholic  students  of  the  University  and 
to  foster  a  feeling  of  good  will  and  good 
fellowship  between  Catholics  and  Protes- 
tants, and  by  conduct  and  influence  to  pro- 
mote the  moral  and  religious  life  of  the 
University.  Meetings  are  held  every  Sun- 
day afternoon  during  the  college  year  and 


semi-annual  receptions,  informal  parties 
and  an  annual  picnic  are  provided. 

University  Colors,  old  Gold  and  maroon. 
It  does  not  appear  tliat  the  University 
colors  were  ever  officially  selected  and  de- 
signated as  the  University  colors.  In  the 
early  days  of  the  University,  sometime  be- 
tween 1876  and  1880,  President  Folwell 
asked  Mrs.  Augusta  Norwood  Smith  to 
select    ribbon    for    the    diplomas.  Mrs. 

Smith,  who  was  preceptress  and  instructor 
in  English,  chose  the  maroon  and  old  gold 
and  they  made  such  a  favorable  impres- 
sion that  they  were  used  the  following 
year  and  gradually,  without  formal  action 
of  any  kind,  became  recognized  as  the 
University    colors. 

University  Council.  This  organization 
was  established  by  act  of  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents taken  May  31,  1905.  The  member- 
ship of  this  board  included  the  president 
of  the  University,  the  deans  of  the  various 
colleges  and  schools  and  one  elected  rep- 
resentative from  each  school  or  college  for 
every  four  hundred  students  or  major  frac- 
tion thereof,  and  one  representative  from 
the  General  Alumni  Association.  The 
duties  of  this  Council  were  similar  to 
t'hose  which  were  later  assumed  by  the 
University  Senate,  an  organization  which 
superseded  this  organization,  May  6,   1912. 

University  Extension.  The  Minnesota 
Alumni  Weekly  of  March  24th,  1913, 
contains  a  very  full  statement  of  the  Uni- 
versity extension  work  offered  by  the  Uni- 
versity  during  the   year   1912-13. 

University  Extension  Service.  For  many 
years  the  University  has  offered  more  or 
less  extensive  courses  of  lectures  to  com- 
munities desiring  the  same.  Outside  the 
agricultural  department  such  work  was 
practically  unorganized  and  it  was  not  un- 
til recent  years  that  a  definite  and  positive 
effort  was  made  to  do  systematic  work  in 
such  lines.  The  legislature  of  1909  made 
an  appropriation  of  $10,000  to  encourage 
extension  work  in  education  and  econom- 
ics. The  time  was  ripe  for  the  movement 
and  the  idea  spread  with  great  rapidity  and 
now  employs  the  whole  time  of  a  consid- 
erable corps  of  instructors,  lecturers  and 
demonstrators. 

In  the  line  of  agriculture  and  home  eco- 
nomics, the  University  was  one  of  the 
first  in  the  field,  and  such  courses  were 
offered  and  attracted  large  numbers  as  far 
back  as  '82-83.  The  attendance  upon  these 
courses  reached  the  respectable  total  of 
1,183.  Then  for  a  few  years,  the  authori- 
ties seem  not  to  have  appreciated  the  sig- 
nificance of  this  movement  and  the  work 
was  dropped  entirely.  It  was  not  resumed 
with  anything  like  the  previous  success 
until  1885,  when  the  farmers'  institute  work 
was  started  by  the  University.  From  that 
day  to  the  present  the  agricultural  de- 
partment has  been  doing  an  ever  increas- 
ing amount  of  such  work,  until  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  there  is  not  a  part  of  the  state 
but   feels    the    results    of    the    work.      The

work  done  by  the  agricultural  high  schools, 
one  hundred  thirty  in  number,  is  a  direct 
outgrowth  of  the  work  done  by  the  Uni- 
versity. The  work  is  developing  so  rapid- 
ly that  a  statement  made  today  is  likely 
to  be   out   of   date   tomorrow. 

The  work  is  now  divided  into  two  main 
branches,  i.  General  extension,  and  2.  Agri- 
cultural extension.  The  following  is  a 
fairly  comprehensive  statement  of  the 
work  at  present  offered  by  the  University.

University  Fellowship  Association.  This 
association  was  organized  and  articles  of 
incorporation  and  by-laws  were  adopted 
March  loth,  i888.  The  association  was  the 
outgrowth  of  a  preliminary  meeting  called 
by  C.  J.  Rockwood  and  others  at  the  West 
Hotel,  February  22,  of  the  same  year.  The 
association  raised  money  to  support  fel- 
lowships at  the  University  by  subscriptions, 
most  of  the  subscriptions  being  one  hun- 
dred dollars  each,  payable  one-fifth  each 
year  for  a  term  of  years.  The  total  amount 
raised  and  distributed  in  this  way  was  ap- 
proximately $3,700.  The  following  named

versity  by  the  gift  of  $113,000  from  the 
estate  of  the  late  Dr.  and  Mrs.  A.  F.  Elliot, 
devised  to  the  University,  for  this  specific 
purpose,  by  heir  executor,  Walter  J.  Trask, 
Esq.,  the  medical  faculty  petitioned  the 
board  of  regents  to  provide  for  the  equip- 
ment of  temporary  hospitals.  This  petition 
was  granted  and  appropriations  for  equip- 
ment and  maintenance  were  obtained  from 
the  legislatures  of  1907  and  igog.  Four  of 
the  residence  buildings,  acquired  with  the 
purchase  of  the  new  campus,  were  set  apart 
for  this  purpose  and  equipped  to  provide 
44  beds.  These  were  maintained  for  over 
two  years  and  gave  the  faculty  an  oppor- 
tunity to  organize  its  hospital  system  and 
to  try  out  the  new  problems  which  the 
undertaking  presented,  before  the  first  of 
the   permanent   buildings   became   available. 

Under  this  system,  only  free  patients  are 
admitted  to  the  University  hospitals,  and 
these  come  from  all  parts  of  the  state.  Ad- 
mission is  granted  to  suitable  cases  upon 
certificate  of  a  local  or  county  physician 
vouching  for  the  indigent  circumstances  of 
the  patient  and  stating  the  character  of  his 
complaint.  The  service  is  divided  into 
three  major  clinics,  medicine,  surgery,  and 
obstetrics,  among  which  the  available  beds 
are  divided.  Special  cases  of  nervous  dis- 
order, of  diseases  of  the  eye,  ear,  nose,  and 
throat,  and  of  children's  diseases  are  espec- 
ially provided  for  under  these  clinics. 

The  acceptance  of  the  Elliot  bequest  by 
the  legislature  was  encouraged  by  the  gift 
of  $42,000  by  citizens  of  Minneapolis  toward 
the  purchase  of  a  site.  The  long  delay,  in- 
cident to  the  acquirement  of  the  new 
campus,  in  realizing  the  hospital  project, 
added  $7000  in  interest  to  the  original  be- 
quest and  two  legislatures  further  increased 
this  amount  by  an  appropriation  of  $40,000 
for  the  enlargement  of  the  building  and 
of  $48,000  for  its  equipment. 

THE  ELLIOT  MEMORIAL  HOSPI- 
TAL was  not  completed  and  ready  for  oc- 
cupancy until  late  in  the  summer  of  191 1. 
It  was  dedicated,  with  appropriate  exercis- 
es, on  September  5th  of  that  year.  It  is 
delightfully  situated  upon  the  high  bluffs 
overlooking  the  River  road,  on  the  east 
and  west  bend  of  the  Mississippi.  It  com- 
mands a  fine  view  of  the  river  to  the  east 
and  of  the  city  to  the  west.  It  is  four 
stories  and  basement  in  height,  built  of 
Danville  brick,  with  Bedford  stone  trim- 
mings, and  is  thoroughly  modern  in  type  of 
construction  and  in  design. 

It  has  proved  necessary  still  to  maintain 
a  number  of  temporary  residences  for 
nurses'  homes,  servants'  quarters,  steam 
laundry,  superintendent's  home,  and  isola- 
tion  wards. 

Following  the  dedication  of  the  Elliot 
Memorial,  the  wards  of  the  hospital  rapidly 
filled  and  its  superintendent  is  commonly 
obliged  to  carry  a  long  waiting-list.  It  has 
already  justified  itself,  not  only  on  the 
score  of  its  educational  values,  but,  also, 
as  an  economic  asset  of  the  state.  It  is 
maintained  under  a  support  fund  of  $80,000. 
a  year. 


University  hospitals.  The  first  report  of 
the  superintendent,  covering  from  March 
22,  igog  to  July  31,  igi2,  shows  that  during 
the  period  covered  by  the  report  1864  cases

University  Song,  The.    The 

University  song,  Hail  Min- 
nesota, was  originally  the 
class  song  of  the  class  of 
1904.  The  song  so  appealed 
to  the  student  body  that  it 
soon  became,  by  general 
consent,  considered  the  Uni- 
versity song.  The  second 
verse  of  the  original  version  of  the  song 
applied  to  President  Northrop  and  was 
written  as  a  tribute  of  the  regard  which 
the  students  feel  for  him.  At  President 
Northrop's  suggestion,  this  verse  was 
dropped  and  a  second  verse,  written  by 
Arthur  Upson,  '05,  was  substituted  there- 
for. The  song  as  it  is  now  sung,  consists 
of  the  first  verse  of  the  original,  composed 
by  Truman  Rickard,  '04,  in  collaboration 
with  Rev.  E.  W.  Shurtlefif,  and  the  second 
verse  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  Upson.  The 
music  was  composed  by  Mr.  Rickard. 
Hail!  Minnesota. 
Minnesota,  hail  to  thee. 

Hail  to  thee  our  college  dear; 
Thy  light  shall  ever  be 

A  beacon  bright  and  clear; 
Thj^    sons    and  'daughters    true 

Will  proclaim  thee  near  and  far; 
They    will    guard   thy   fame 

And  adore  thy  name; 
Thou  shalt  be  their  Northern  Star. 

Like   the   stream   that  bends   to   sea 
Like    the    pine    that   seeks    the    blue; 

Minnesota,  still  for  thee 
Thy  sons   are   strong   and   true. 

From  thy  woods  and  waters  fair; 
From    thy    prairies    waving   far. 

At  thy  call  they  throng 

With   their   shout   and    song 

Hailing  thee  their  Northern  Star.

University  in  the  Spanish-American  War. 
The  total  number  of  alumni,  and  students 
who  served  in  the  war  against  Spain,  was 
218.  Of  this  number  52  were  in  the  Uni- 
versity at  the  time  of  enlistment.  53 
reached  the  rank  of  commissioned  officers; 
there  were  165  privates.  28  graduates  of 
the  University  enlisted;  135  of  those  enlist- 
ed have  never  graduated.  83  of  those  en- 
listed from  the  University  have  graduated 
from  the  University  either  before  or  since 
the  war.  One  man  enlisted  and  serving  in 
the  war  has  since  enrolled  in  the  Univer- 
sity. 

University  Spring,  The.  In  the  early 
days  of  the  University  this  spring  was  used 
to  supply  water  to  the  University,  a  hy- 
draulic ram  raising  the  water  to  the  build- 
ings. Later  the  use  of  the  hydraulic  ram 
discontinued  and  the  class  of  1885  built  a 
wall  about  the  spring  and  fixed  it  up  as  a 
memorial.  The  spring  was  the  source  of 
drinking-water  supply  for  many  families 
living  in  southeast  Minneapolis  for  many 
years.  Owing  to  changes  about  the  Uni- 
versity and  grounds  the  underground  feed- 


ers   of    the    spring   were    diverted    and    the 
spring  ceased  to  exist.

University  Year.  The  University  year 
covers  a  period  of  thirty-eight  weeks  be- 
ginning on  the  second  Tuesday  in  Septem- 
ber, Commencement  day  being  always  the 
second  Thursday  in  June.  Up  to  1901,  the 
year  was  divided  into  three  terms,  the  first 
ending  at  Thanksgiving  time  and  the  sec- 
ond about  the  last  of  February.  The 
schools  of  agriculture  have  two  terms,  the 
first  beginning  about  the  first  of  October 
and  running  to  Christmas  time  and  the 
second  from  the  first  of  January  until  late 
in  March.  The  Dairy  school  term  runs 
during  December  and  the  short  course  for 
farmers  during  January  and  part  of  Feb- 
ruary. The  summer  schools  are  in  ses- 
sion from  close  of  regular  school  year 
until  about  August  ist.

Olson,  96.58;  For  the  following-  years  the 
honor  of  "valedictory"  was  not  awarded, 
but  the  students  named  were  granted  first 
honors  for  scholarship — 1899,  Ethel  C.

abolished  after  1902. 

Valedictory.  Up  to  and  including  the 
class  of  1888  the  valedictorian  and  saluta- 
torian  were  elected  by  the  members  of  the 
class,  without  any  specific  reference  to  the 
question  of  scholarship.  Beginning  with 
the  class  of  1889,  these  honors  were  made 
a  reward  of  scholarship,  the  valedictory 
going  to  the  highest  and  the  salutatory  to 
the  second  highest  student  in  point  of 
scholarship.  These  honors  were  always 
confined  to  the  members  of  the  senior 
class  of  the  college  of  science^  literature 
and  the  arts.  This  custom  was  kept  up 
until  the  commencement  of  1899,  when 
President  Northrop  delivered  the  first 
commencement  address.  From  that  time 
on  student  speakers  for  commencement 
exercises  have  been  dispensed  with.  So 
long  as  the  old  custom  of  student  orations 
was  followed  the  salutatory  was  always 
given   in   Latin.

vi^ork  opened  October  3,  1910,  with 
courses  similar  to  those  offered  at  the 
school  of  agriculture  at  St.  Anthony  Park. 
During  the  first  year  103  students  were 
enrolled.  The  following  year  93  students 
were  enrolled.  The  original  farm  com- 
prised 292  acres  and  some  75  acres  addi- 
tional have  been  rented  for  the  use  of  the 
school. 

At  the  date  of  the  opening  of  the  school

'^^^fe-^HESE  Lands  are  especially  well  adapted  to  diversified  farming  and  Dairying,  consisting  of  prairie  land, 
■  \  cut  over  timber  land,  natural  meadow  and  timber.    They  are  situated   in  country  already  settled,   in 

^^^^  close  proximity  to  schools,  churches  and  railroads.  Minnesota  has  unquestionably  the  best  public 
school  system  in  the  country,  thousands  of  common  schools,  semi-graded  and  graded  schools  high  and 
normal  schools  and  culminating  in  the  splendid  State  University  with  an  enrollment  of  over  5000.  Minnesota 
now  has  a  permanent  school  fund  of  more  than  $23,030,000,  permanent  University  and  other  funds  of 
$5,000,000,  or  a  total  of  more  than  $30,000,000.  We  still  have  2,500,000  acres  of  land  belonging  to  these 
trust  funds  which  from  their  timber  and  iron  ore  will  ultimately  produce  trust  funds  of  $200,000,000,  the  largest 
of  any  state  organization  in  the  world.  Good  roads  are  the  rule  rather  than  the  exception.  A  large  part  of  the 
school  lands  are  found  in  the  neighborhood  of  beautiful  inland  lakes,  abounding  in  fish  of  all  kinds.  Large 
and  small  game  in  abundance.  The  soil  is  fertile  and  all  crops  that  can  be  profitably  raised  in  other  parts  of 
the  state  will  thrive  here.     No  "final  fee"  or  "final  proof"  necessary.

Dr.  P.  M.  Hall  said  in  the  Tribune  of  August  13th.~-"Let  us  suggest  that  pas- 
teurization affords  the  greatest  protection  at  the  present  time." 

No  milk  or  cream  leaves  the  Quaker  Creamery  Co. 's  plant  without  first  being 
pasteurized.     Why  buy  impure  milk  when  you  can  get  pasteurized  milk? 

The  State  of  Minnesota  Dairy  and  Food  Commissioners  gave  us  a  score  of  96  at 
the  time  they  inspected  our  plant. 

The  City  Milk  Inspector,  Mr.  J.  Johnson,  gave  us  a  score  of  96. 

There  is  no  other  plant  in  the  Northwest  that  will  show  such  a  score.  Buy 
Quaker  milk,  cream,  butter  and  ice  cream  and  get  the  best.
